The 5 software development books that had the most significant impact on my software development career.

1. Expert C Programming by Peter van der Linden, opened my eyes to the nuances of the C programming language and really made me appreciated that even with such a relatively simple language (just 32 keywords at the time) there is a lot required to master a programming language. Whilst, I only wrote C for a few years the understanding I gained helped me find and appreciate C++.

2. Design Patterns by Erich Gamma et al., is the book the convinced me to learn C++. Up to then Object Oriented Programming as it had been explained to me just looked like adding unnecessary baggage to C. The argument that OOP enabled code re-use seemed suspect.

Design Patterns showed me how useful OOP could be, though like many who read it I immediately ran off and over-used Singleton. 🤷‍♂️

3. Extreme Programming by Kent Beck, completely changed by approach to software development. After a few years of waterfall and V-model development I felt there had to be a better way to build large software projects. Kent’s idea to turn all the dials up to ten on the things that worked resonated. I started pushing for XP in the organisations I worked with and continue to use pair programming, TDD, short-iterations and CI.

4. The Pragmatic Programmer by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas did for my day to day coding habits what Extreme Programming did for my software development process. It includes (in the first edition) 70 tips that make you a better programmer, things that should be obvious - find bugs once - but are often overlooked and some that might not be - crash early.

5. The Practice of Programming by Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike, as one review put it: “much of the book is 'common sense' it is of the kind that only 10% of programmers have after years of working and gallons of coffee”.

I’d love to add: Effective Concurrency by Herb Sutter to the list, if he ever writes it. In the meantime the articles, if you can still find them, are an excellent way to really understand concurrency and parallelism.

I think Ghana tipper drivers need this training

[The Figen @TheFigen_]

Training given to bus drivers to understand how a cyclist feels when they pass near them... 😂

Over the weekend I tried out @supabase with Vue and i loved the experience. Created a video on YouTube showing how to setup Supabase with Vue3 and implementing some basic auth. I’m going to create a full course on this in the upcoming months.

Damn, alway thought everyone love extension function.

[Herr DC Lange @CarlHedgren]

I absolutely hate extensions functions, and how it's turned into the only calling conventions because you get to dot complete.

This is the worst local maximum in the indistry

[Amin @bigminus]

@SedemQuame @SIKAOFFICIAL1 Oh bossu, u mean ur 30k no dey reach u.

[deh.is.francis @francisdeh]

I had to implement something similar a few days back. A simple cli with argument parser inside __main__.py and call it like *python -m my-app --action restore*. This is a very useful tip you shared. 👍🏽

Rust in Action by @timClicks . I like it's hands on approach, so you are actively building something along with learning the intricacies of Rust. You will implement some data structures along the way.

Or there is one book which just discusses implementing linked lists in rust - https://t.co/Rq8EaZu8Bu
