Bookshelf

Below is a short list of books which I can recommend, listed in the order in which I bought them with the latest purchase at the top.

Although e-books are fine, like many others I prefer to have a physical book in my hand. This is firstly for portability / connectivity reasons as with many e-book providers, you either read the book online or use / pay a token in order for an offline copy of the section. Secondly, I hate flipping between virtual desktops and / or windows, in order to read the book and then perform any practical work.

For your convenience, I had added in Amazon links (with no affiliate tagging) for each book listed.
