Hello! I’m looking for book recommendations for learning programming fundamentals.
To be clear, I’m not necessarily looking for a book on learning language(s), but rather, programming, theory I guess you might call it?
For example, I’ve been playing around a lot in my terminal writing bash scripts, and I just implemented my first function. Another example, I know the phrase “Object Oriented programming”, but have no idea what it means.
I learn well by doing, and I’ve learned a lot just writing scripts and reading about bash scripting, but I also realize there’s a lot about programming at a higher level that I know nothing about.
Head First Design Patterns really helped me untangle the spaget
Head First Java is also nice to learn OOP as well! Don’t worry that you’re learning an older version of Java. It’s good to know the old style, because not all Java code is fancy schmancy new ;)
Out of a lot of series I’ve read, the Head First is really geared towards beginners. Highly recommended for beginner to intermediate programmers.
