Tech Books & Resources (2019)
Similar to the personal page, this page helps me keep track of what I read. This is just for the tech books though.
October
-
Absolute FreeBSD, 3rd Edition, Michael W. Lucas
(if you’ve read a Lucas book, you know you’re in for a funny, yet no nonsense ride.
This gets you up to speed, with FreeBSD basics in short order.
Once you’re done with this, learning the more advanced stuff gets much easier.)
August
- Learning Python, Mark Lutz
May
-
Mastering Emacs, Mickey Petersen
(this book helped me learn emacs. very helpful. good reference) -
Extreme Programming Pocket Guide, Shane Warden
(short, succinct, sweet. jargon free. practical. a practitioner’s manual) -
Python for You and Me, Kushal Das
(serves as an excellent introduction to someone who wants to learn Python quickly, so that you can get on with doing projects)

i want 2 do project. tell me wat 2 do, Shakthi Kannan
(if you are interested in the floss world, this book is an excellent howto) -
Lauren Ipsum, Carlos Bueno
(a really gentle introduction to computer science. ostensibly for kids. even kids like me aged 40 :))
