How'd you get into programming? in c/programming
[โ€“] ott0 3 points 1 year ago

I started by making myself a small personal website in the early 2000s, and introducing iframes because I was tired of copy-pasting the same navbar into each page. That led me to PHP to achieve the same thing with includes, and then the snowball effect started.

After more amateur and self-taught website work before uni, I then started a CS degree and was taught how to program for the first time: starting with Java, some Haskell, some C and more than enough perl.

The working world came knocking and I expanded my repertoire to include Python and any other language of the day.

Pragmatic Programmer - any recommendations for similar? (self.programming)

I'm currently listening to the Pragmatic Programmer 20th anniversary edition audiobook, and thoroughly enjoying it. I was skeptical about listening to a technical ebook, but they've pulled it off perfectly.

Could anyone recommend any similarly well regarded general programming books or audiobooks?
