What is your favorite electronics or software book?

dougw
dougw over 4 years ago

In the age of the internet books seem to be much less travelled.

Do books still play a major role in your technical endeavors?

Or do you just keep some around for sentimental reasons?

What book has been the most useful to you in your career?

Does this coincide with your favorite tech book?

Feel free to mention your favorite technical magazine as well.

I read a lot of tech magazines every week but really liked "Electronics" magazine in it heyday.

I wonder if I still have some squirreled away somewhere.

I expect I still have some Amiga magazines.

 

I forgot to mark this as a question - is there a way to change it to a question?

    The book that I open the most is The Art of Electronics.  I also have a book on C++ and another on Python but I find myself doing internet searches now rather than using those books for the most part when I have a question.  And the way I keep up with things is the internet instead of magazines like the old days.  I was a late convert though. Getting a really big monitor and finding reliable sources of good information finally won me over.
