Something about Perl, python a shit

>>62434672
Anybody interested in computer history? I bought a Ted Nelson book and am open to share with you guys for a few hours, although the type is very compact, my camera isn't too great ;(

Anybody interested?

Python Crash course was really helpful getting started. I want to read the automate the boring stuff one too. Check out sentdex on youtube that guy is a python wizard.

I know this is a dumb question, but what will the "Pragmatic Programmer" book teach me? I am pretty new at programming, so can I take a stab at it? Do I need to know any advanced math?

requesting something like idk JAVASCRIPT plz plz plz

I'm really interested in Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective
Anyone else read this for uni?

>>62438139
No advanced math required. Its about structure and approach to solving problems

>>62438519
What are the highlights of it?

>>62438555
I know this is a must read book, however, will it really improve my problem solving skills? I think that's the thing I struggle the most while programming. Really tempting to get the hard copy.

http://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/public/perspective.html
>Most books on systems—computer architecture, compilers, operating systems, and networking—are written as if the reader were going to design and implement such a system. We call this the “builder's persepective.” We believe that students should first learn about systems in terms of how they affect the behavior and performance of their programs—a “programmer's perspective.”
It's like $150-200 but it looks like it might be worth it.

>find a book everyone recommends
>it's like fucking 30 years old and uses a language like prolog

>programming
>books

Lol

>>62438660
The best way to improve problem solving skills would be to work through a book in your chosen language and try to solve the problems one by one. Once you're comfortable start looking at other people's programs to see how they do it.

I have this book for the class I'm taking this semester. My original programming 101 didn't get transferred (kind of glad I didn't take the second programming course now). This is a pretty good book for anyone who's new.

I just got this in the mail today all the way from the UK to the states. I can't wait until this semester is over to crack it open. I've been also reading Head First C so that's another good one if you're interested in C.

picture related is super useful and can be read without a computer in front because you won't remember everything at once, but useful to know what regex can do (because it's super powerful) and it's a nice reference.

You tell me, Anon.

I have a few books to suggest but the one that helped me the most is the Algebraic code for data transmition by richard e. Blahut .
It teaches you the math that is used to pack the data before transmitting.
Although the sencond half of the book is about rtl designs, the 1st half of the book is very usefull to soneone who works/likes on networks in a low level or sdr.

>>62438763
thanks anon that's a lot of books
I hope I get depression meds soon that turn off the background noise in my head so I can read a fucking book

Forget all that other crap. Learn a modern language if you're just starting now.

You can learn Rust for free from The Book: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/

So I've been learning C++ and I get the general idea of how things work but I'm trying to figure out how to really apply it usefully, this seems to be the hardest part for me.

Would an algorithm book be a good choice to get some ideas of how to actually apply languages or what would you guys recommend?

Best Haskell book?

>>62444723
Not the anon that asked the question. I don't really know what I want to do yet, however, I want to be able to "know" how to apply the things that I learn from any language that I am using at the moment(learning C at the moment), whenever I get any "idea" of what I want to do.

>>62445047
Familiarize yourself with the language and its features, learn how to structure your programs (design patterns etc.), and learn how to interface with outside data/programs. External libraries can make alot of tasks easier because someone has probably already done what you're trying to do and better. By the time you know how to use all the bits and pieces you should be able to combine them to do whatever task you're trying to accomplish. Algorithms are used for things like parsing, sorting, and compression but most of the simpler ones you'll need will probably be intuitive by that point

>>62445259

I can tell by the way you say C/C++.
No programmer says that.

Anyone know a good book on distributed systems?

>>62434672

SICP was unironically the best computer boko I've read so far.


>>62438139

>what will the "Pragmatic Programmer" book teach me?

It's a great book.

If you are new tpo programming you can probably not relate to every topic (yet), but it will give you the right ideas.

>>62445512
You can clone the Git repository and then follow the instructions to build both editions of the book locally. Remember that the second edition is still a work in progress though and subject to change.

Awesome! I started reading, and so far, I am enjoying it. Thanks anon, maybe someday, after I lvl up enough, I willl try SICP.

Anyone got a list of good C# books? No idea where to start and which order to go in.

Spend your time learning the language that you're going to code in and use an online tool to write your regex.

I agree with this.

Try out regexr.com
Messing around on that site is how I learned regex. You'll learn more using a "regex playground" like that or another similar website

/r/ing best book/course on Python. Ideally one that's not too babby. I know Java and Ruby primarily. Got offered a Python position which I start in a month and doing some reading up and practising before then. Most shit is "juniors first loop in Python" which is just fucking painful.

Also to any one else in the thread, take this

It takes a long time to read through all that shit, you can have a better deal for your time.

Also too heavy. You can skip through it, but there are more slim books.


>RegExpressions

A book only for RegEx's, serisouly? You can learn all interesting things in a small tutorial of a langauge of your choice (I recommend Perl or Ruby here). The rest is practice.

This is wrong, the book shows uses for regex that I imagine that you did not even consider. Online tools don't teach you this valuable skill
