Programming/development Books

Name: Anonymous 2013-02-02 10:00

So here's the deal. I dropped out of university... a few times... and have fallen back upon writing software for a living. I'm very conscious of the fact that having never studied it at college I am probably not following best practices etc.

I work mainly in C# but would like to expand my knowledge and study properly on my own. Anyone suggest any good texts for me?

tl/dr: Good programming books for students?

Read K&R for C, read stephen prata for C++. Java, I don't know, just read fucking tutorials or something. Java books are horrible.

The best programming book would be one that taught people not to be so fucking helpless. Every fucking forum is filled with these pathetic fucks that are completely unable to solve any problem themselves and will just keep repeating the same question until given a predigested answer at which point they move on to the next thing, repeat ad nauseaum.

I'm not a retard you fucking pathetic self-important narcissistic cock-whore. Nor would I ask as ridiculous a question as what is the "best programming book".

I simply asked for suggestions of interesting or informative background texts which might give me some deeper insight or provide a fresh approach at looking at things.

I'm taking a pragmatic approach and trying to recognise my own failings and areas where I can improve; you're sitting on your fucking fat slovenly prolapsed cunt telling yourself you're so much better than anyone who might even consider it possible to appeal to a higher authority.

Suck my fat faggot cock you hateful cunt-licker.

I wasn't even talking about you, but if you're that butthurt you must fit the description.

I doubt he is, I know the kind you're talking about.
Completely different kettle of fish.

Nevertheless, nobody enjoys reading shitty diatribes- and what's more, nobody learns anything from them either.

It would be naive at best to think that people listen and take on board harsh criticism on the internet.

which probably counts for this as well.
Put it this way, you're wasting your time on people you think aren't worth your time.

That isn't the case, as the goyim are worth the jew's time, and they wouldn't be here stewing if they weren't. But being as this is a completely praguematic place, we are unable to outright reject the notion of the jew ever doing anything at all turns for no more reason than the unspecified and/or hyperbolic so-called "logic", ad hominem, and lots of flailing. The same song and dance has to persist, to a parasitic level, anywhere that the failing and synthetic ciruitry is removed and made known.
And then there are the pathetic appeals to their ideas of what the rules of the board are, and about supposed irrelevance. However anyone who is praguematic will find the notion that programming only pertains to electronics and computers quite hilarious, especially when coupled with the fact that he routinely slides the board with utter garbage to stifle exposition.

Tell me, why does he persist if we're "not worth" this jew's time? How much would you pay someone to shit up this board to subvert voices of dissent? How much money do you have at your disposal? How much money do you think a jew who would order such a thing would have at their disposal? Tell me, how much do you think it would take to pay the lowest ranking jews to do it? You know, the ones who're at the bottom of the jewlluminati pyramid, I'll bet 50 shekel that it's as much as my bet per post, at most.

Good thing you don't want Mentifex to be bricksocked, that would cost a fortune.
