Programming Books

Name: Anonymous 2011-05-22 0:59

Hello /prog/. I'm here to ask a question. I want to learn how to program. I know all the basics like variables, loops, conditionals, and functions, but I still feel like I don't know shit. I started learning in an objected oriented language a year and a half ago, but I'm currently trying to learn functional programming with javascript. Can you recommend me a couple of books to read in order to become more familiar with programming? I know you are probably going to say SICP but is there anything a bit easier I can start with?

Depends on what you want to learn, programming is not a single big thing. SICP is a beginner CS book, it's natural that it has to be harder than ``C++ for dummies''. It's still an excellent read for programmers.
Which languages are you familiar with? Are you willing to learn a new language to read a book? How willing are you to get deep into programming? Are you willing to also learn some basic CS, or ``just programming''?
