If you are a programmer, you must be interested in reading the books you have read. If you have not read one, I cannot say anything. Maybe you are a day, however, I believe that most people know that you have never learned the knowledge you really need at work at school, after graduation, the teachers who can help us win a job in the company are these excellent books. A good book can change a person's life.
