Good textbooks help us learn fast and fun.
I live in Japan, so I sometimes get computer science textbooks in Japanese at low prices. Some of them are really fun and helpful to understand the big picture of IT development jobs. For example, Ryuji Kitami’s books are fun and rewarding.
Sometimes I can get programming textbooks in English at affordable prices too, and I am very grateful because I can learn English at the same time!
Dr. Angela Yu has created great online courses.
Mr. Jonas Schmedmann’s online courses are good, too.
Tom Butler’s “PHP & MYSQL: Novice to Ninja” is great.
I have heard this advice, “do a little research which programming languages has many textbooks. That language is easy to self-study.”
And I found there are many good Python resources available.
I like Mr. Andrew Williams’ WordPress courses, too.
Let‘s challenge!
