So You Know Programming. What Else Should You Read?
The learning never stops as a software developer. If you’ve recently learned how to program, you may be asking yourself what else should you be reading. What else is there to learn? A lot more…trust me. Below are some of the books that I personally recommend for junior-to-mid-level developers to read aside from their regular programming content.
If you know anything about me, you’ll know that I love Head First books. With the Design Patterns book, it’s time for you to broaden your thinking. For example, let’s say that you start writing code in Laravel. You’ll see concepts such as Facades, Factories, and Observers. What are they? They’re design patterns. If you know your design patterns, you won’t have to spend hours trying to figure out what they do in Laravel.
