Reviews and impressions of the technical books I read
Book Review
You need a few years of deep software development expertise, especially in a team and on several projects, before you can really appreciate the deep wisdom of the suggestions which Kent Beck shares in this book.
Book Review
A very good book for those starting with Docker, as well as the more advanced dev who feels that they're missing a strong foundation. Highly recommended!
Game design
I've learned a great deal from this book, so I'm very much recommending it! I also wish there were more titles of this calibre in the "Game Design" section of technical books.

I find it very hard to recommend this book, as I've had to stop reading it quite early on, because I was getting quite worried about the accuracy of what I'm reading.
Book Review
The content is very good, rightfully so as the first recommended resource for learning Rust 🦀. I don't think it's worth spending the money on the physical book though, considering it's the same exact content as the free version online, unless you really like to hold paper in your hands.

An absolute must-read in my view for any novice or mid-level C programmer, highly recommended!

Even though the author has done a decent job at synthesizing a complex topic in a small handbook, this process of reduction has come at the significant expense of over-simplification and even confusing wishy-washy top level explanations.
Book Review
Interesting concept, though not for me. I believe one can get much more bang for their buck in 2023 if one just takes a C course on Udemy or on YouTube.
Book Review
One of the best beginner programming books I’ve ever read. I wish this would have been the first book I read when I started programming!
Book Review
There might not be such a thing as a 10x engineer, but if you follow Gergely’s advice in this book you’re guaranteed to 10x your chances of having a great career in tech.
Book Review
A very good birds-eye view of design patterns for the mid to advanced level JavaScript developer. I learned quite a few things from the book, and I highly recommend it as a weekend read.
Book Review
A great read overall, with very solid advice. I only wished the book would have been at least a few chapters longer!
