A long time ago, I wanted to compile a list of recommended reading books from experienced top programmers. Dmitry Shvetsov, a full-stack engineer, compiled a list of books recommended by uncle Bob, Jeff Atwood and DHH, and other world-renowned programmers. Let’s take a look at some of the books most loved by the gods.




Bozhidar Batsov, vp of Toptal, said in his talk that there are 15 books you need to know to be a programmer:

  • “Inside the Machine” 4.6 Amercian
  • “Complete Code” scored 9.3 on Douban
  • “Concrete Mathematics” douban score 9.6
  • Construction and Interpretation of computer programs, douban 9.5
  • “Programming Methods (Chinese version)” douban score 8.7


Bozhidar believes that even if you have 20 years of programming experience, you can learn a lot from the above books.

  • The Algorithm Design Manual and The Algorithm can give you a better understanding of the algorithm
