books on learning coding

'It is unlikely that books help someone'

Really?

When I first started learning (back in the late 1940's) books and schools were all we had.
There were no satellites, no cell phones, no internet, and even TV was so new that most folks didn't have one.

To this day, I still am an avid reader, most often of technical books. I find them especially helpful then working with integrated circuits for electronics design, where it's almost impossible to remember all of the pin inputs and outputs, and relationships between without tables and diagrams that are provided within technical manuals.

I love reading books, and will until I no longer can.
