A software engineer’s reading list
In 2024, I had the opportunity to read some exceptional software engineering books that significantly enhanced my understanding and skills in programming.
In the ever-evolving tech landscape, continuous learning and improvement are essential for staying relevant and effective.
Automate the Boring Stuff with Python
A fantastic resource for beginners looking to dive into Python programming.
The book focuses on practical applications of Python to automate mundane tasks, making it not only educational but also highly practical.
First, it covers the basics of Python, including variables, control flow, and functions.
Later, you’ll be introduced to real-world projects such as web scraping, working with spreadsheets, and automating email tasks.
The engaging writing style and hands-on projects make it easy to follow along, even for those new to programming. Writing lots of code is key.
The inclusion of exercises at the end of each chapter reinforces learning and encourages experimentation.
