Top 5 Programing books read in 2023

1. The Pragmatic programmer 

"Pragmatic programmers [...] think beyond the immediate problem, always trying to situate it in its larger perspective, always trying to be aware of the bigger picture," according to the book Pragmatic Programming. They employ critical thought. They take ownership of all they do, say no when they can't, and don't worry about being seen as inept or weak.

2. Clean code 

 

Even though the Clean Code book has been out for a while and has received many positive reviews, I couldn't help but share my own impressions of this excellent book. I first came across this book many years ago, but I've since read it numerous times and have given it to readers, students, and other developers as a recommendation. 

3. Head first design patterns

Head First Design Patterns create a multi-sensory learning experience based on the most recent findings in cognitive science and learning theory, rather than using a text-heavy method that makes you fall asleep.

4. Refactoring 

Refactoring to Patterns combines the traditional remedies for reoccurring design issues with refactoring, the precise of enhancing the design of existing code. According to Refactoring to Patterns, applying patterns late in the development of a new design is preferable to doing so early on. 

5. The mythical-man month

Fred Brooks wrote a book titled The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering, which was initially published in 1975. Subsequent editions were released in 1982 and 1995. Its main argument is that adding personnel to a software project that is already running behind schedule just makes things worse.
