Hacker News Stories and Comments
All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this book.As a self taught developer there are only a few books I read early in my career that seriously impacted how I write code.1. XML Schema by Priscilla Walmsley - https://www.amazon.com/Definitive-XML-Schema-Priscilla-Walms...
2. DOM Scripting by Jeremy Keith - https://www.amazon.com/DOM-Scripting-Design-JavaScript-Docum...
3. CSS Pocket Reference - Eric Meyer - https://www.amazon.com/CSS-Pocket-Reference-Visual-Presentat...
Most of the developers I have worked with in my career are absolutely terrified by tree structures. They will admit otherwise like some kind of pathological liar, but this is easily exposed and that's so unfortunate. A tree structure is just a data structure like any other and embracing that liberates you from a kind of Stockholm Syndrome.
⬐ tootieOh yeah, have to dig back the to heyday of O'Reilley. I think Webmaster in a Nutshell and Learning Perl were the ones I loved most dearly.
Here are mine:* XML Schema - https://www.amazon.com/Definitive-XML-Schema-Priscilla-Walms...
* DOM - https://www.amazon.com/DOM-Scripting-Design-JavaScript-Docum...
* I don’t have a book for this, but learn data structures instead of algorithms. If you can learn to think in data structures the concepts of algorithms will come to you naturally like dreaming or thinking about driving directions.
* I also don’t have a book for this but the relationships between data is more important than the data itself. This is realized by how you express your abstraction.
