Apprenticeship Patterns(<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.programmingbooks.dev&#x2F;#apprenticeship-patterns" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.programmingbooks.dev&#x2F;#apprenticeship-patterns</a>) and Pragmatic Thinking and Learning(<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.programmingbooks.dev&#x2F;#pragmatic-thinking-and-learning" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.programmingbooks.dev&#x2F;#pragmatic-thinking-and-lea...</a>) are two books I wished I read early in my career.
