Programmer's Delight

By cozypumpkinmammoth

Codelieness is next to Godliness, as the saying goes. Here is a great selection of books for the aspiring demigod, thereby. I've included foundational primers in many of the most popular and widely used languages, works on esoterica and theory, for all code will prosper when it is freed from the dissonance and entropy known as "bugs and repetition", and even a number of titles for the black mages. Oh, and of course some for the ever-so-fashionable grey mages out there. No matter what hat you don, lets have a Hacky Holiday season this year, and learn something code something that makes us feel as warm as hot coacoa and as cozy as a pumpkin-hued mammoth.
