5 Must Read Books - My Dev/Tech/Presenter Recommendations

In this video I want to show you my 5 top most useful books! These books that I cover (timestamps and links below) have been absolutely crucial in my developer career and have helped me understand both topics that I work on, on a daily basis and also helped me become a better all-round technologists and, even, presenter.

The 5 books I recommend to you here are mixed in topic and although some a quite specific to me and what I do, most of them are books I think that many devs could benefit from. I even categorise each book as either a book for "specific" devs, "every" dev and "everyONE". To help you actually use this video to your full advantage.

The books in question cover these topics:
* The Linux Terminal (Command Line) - How to use it
* Android App Development
* Using a command line text editor - Vim
* Useful SysAdmin knowledge
* Becoming a better presenter

This video is just to give you an idea of some of the books that I read and enjoy in order to help me learn the skills that I use regularly. I want to just pass on the information about where I got that knowledge from and give props to the writers! FYI I am not sponsored at all by any writer or book or publisher or anything.

Books and their timestamps ======================

02:14 - The Linux Command Line (William Shotts)

04:10 - Android Studio 3.5 Development Essentials (Neil Symth)

05:57 - Mastering Vim Quickly (Jovica Ilic)

07:52 - Unix & Linux System Administration Handbook (Many...)

When I checked the spell book in amazon, in the "Customers who viewed this item also viewed" section, I found all the other books you talked about in the video. You are quite an influencer, are'nt you? 😂

Android and vim books just what I was looking for. Appreciate the vid!

Counting the amount of times you say “all encompassing” could be a fun game but it can also be a way to make people watch your entire video 😅. Anyway, great video 👍

[javvmonroy]

I'll take a look at some of them

[offon]

Hate to be the actually guy -- the publisher is actually called "No Starch Press"

[TheArtofSoftware]

Probably should've read a book on vim instead of just mashing away at it for years. Will check out the presenting book!

[bestinbabu]

I am almost certain that this guy has not read a single page from any of the books he is showing. They are all new with bogus bluetags placed inside them randomly.
