10 must-read IT books!

At the S*Book bookstore, there are different kinds of books, such as detective novels, literature books, parenting books, etc. As an online bookstore of a technology company with a great reading culture, there is no doubt that S*Book includes books for programmers. These books were read and shared by Sunners on the S*Book. So let’s check out these books! 

Code Journal

Currently, we have very few books about IT in general and programmers in particular in Vietnam. They are mostly translated from foreign authors. We are so into books like "Ways to get rich and so on" that we flatter ourselves when actually our skills do not allow us to do so. So we need books that guide careers and build solid knowledge, from then you can think of more wonderful things in the future. "Code journal - programmers don't just know how to code" will give you that. 

Mr. Tran Van Tan B has a review on this book:

I read this book at the end of the 3rd year of university. It helped me to have a more realistic view of the field I am studying. The book consists of 3 parts: part 1 focuses on the software skills and attitudes that each programmer needs when studying and working, part 2 goes deeper into programming techniques from basic to Advanced, part 3 is the sharing of the author's real experience. The author's writing style is very humorous, some passages are also written in a kung fu style to make it interesting and appeal to the readers.
