Good books to read
Architecture, development, culture and more
Overview
I have read some of these books, the rest were found as best recommendations/suggestions through different sources.
All of these books are available via O’Rielly subscription, which has been the best subscription service I’ve ever used (came for free at Amazon). Some are available as audio books.
Titles link back to books on O’Rielly with the continue option, if you are already reading the book it will take you to the latest place if you're signing in.
I was mostly using reviews on Goodreads, Amazon and blog posts to make a decision to add the book.
Books are listed in no particular order and the category is not prescriptive :)
