My collected reading lists, reading recomendations, etc
- Introduction to Algorithms
- aka CLRS Algorithms
- the algorithms book, personal favorite
- Algorithms - Robert Sedgewick
- easier read than CLRS, some more standard/straightforward solutions than CLRS

- The Pragmatic Programmer
- Uncle Bob's Clean XY Series
- Clean Code, Clean Coder, Clean Architecture, Clean Agile
- Like all "here's how to do things" books, take with a grain of salt and don't take ideas and opinions as religion
- Clean Agile actually put's that into perspective nicely, making very clear it's part memoire, part personal opinion
