Most software engineering books are terrible. Here is a summary of some of the books I've read that I actually learnt something from. In no particular order:
The DevOps Handbook
Great into to running efficient software engineering teams, how to handle stakeholders, and how to focus on getting work done in tech. π Link
Software Engineering at Google
I'd only recommend the introduction chapter here, as most of the book is more of a declaration of thoughts and theories instead of actual lessons. It's also very boring. π Link
The Software Engineer's Guidebook
Good and bad. Good intro for developers on how the industry works, how to get feedback and grow as a developer and kick off your career, basically a mentor in a book. The bad: most of it you probably know, lots of repetition, and very little real "engineering" content. π Link
TypeScript in 50 Lessons
Give's a good intro to TypeScript for beginners with some nice examples. Only issue is that there is too much written code, often spanning pages which makes it hard to read and understand. Amazing author that also writes a fantastic blog. π Link
