What is your favorite programming book?

There are tons of really good books, but we all have a personal favorite. Which one is yours?

Clean Code - Robert Martin
Introduction to Algorithms - CLRS

My personal favorite is HTML, CSS JS book by Jon Duckett. It has cleared all my concepts.

Few for start:

Clean Architecture
Clean Code
Grokking algorithms - An ILustration guide for programmers 4.Computer science- distilled

hello, startup by Yevgeniy Brikman

Surprises me that I've never seen this book mentioned anywhere, let alone on anyone's list of "must reads". It popped up as a recommendation on Amazon after it was released in 2015, and I am so grateful that I added it to my cart that day.

The "Choosing a Tech Stack" chapter is something I think every developer should read. Highly recommend the book, even if you're not into startups.

Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't know about this book. May be you can include a link to the book in your comment?

That's the one!

I decided to purchase it as an introduction to startups and the idea of MVP's. My first two reads of the book (I've read it 3-4 times now), I completely skipped the middle section on Technologies because I'm an experienced developer/dba/server admin and figured it would be of least value to me personally. Thankfully, I don't have the mindset of "I already know that" and did eventually go back to read the section that I had skipped twice before.

Surprisingly, it ended up being the most valuable section of the book for me! Mostly because it validated my thoughts and feelings about web development that I had expressed several times over the years, only to get shot down by others.

It's quite frankly, a book I wish I could have thumped a few bosses, team leads, and senior devs over the head with throughout my career ;)
