Fupping’s Taegan Lion interviews Andrew Hatfield on the 20 most important books every computer science student should read – and his answers will surprise you!
While there are many of the classics, including Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan’s seminal “The C Programming Language”, I take a different tack.
My submissions are unorthodox, but then my results are exceptional.
The first book is Jeff Olson’s “The Slight Edge“. In my mind, this is the single most impactful and important book I’ve ever read.
” In a nutshell, you are either advancing or regressing – there is no standing still. Always do SOMETHING to move the needle forward, every little bit of action counts.”
The second, but equally as important, is Bob Burg‘s “The Go Giver“. When you adopt an attitude of service where you always provide more value than you take in payment, one of giving freely without the expectation of receiving anything in return, your results will skyrocket.
