      You're kidding, experience isn't enough to be a good engineer, I've seen a lot of crap code and refactored by so-called old hands, cumbersome, ugly, no structure or meaningful names

    Have you, by chance, read "Head First Design Patterns" by Eric Freeman? Heard a lot about this one and wondering whether I should dig in since it is quite heavy 😅

    • @mrluddi124
      @mrluddi124 Před měsícem

      I have read it, and it is far from heavy :) it's great to learn without reading a ton of dry text for sure.
      Once you've read that one, I think going for the Design patterns by the 'gang of four' is a more thorough read

      @marcelo-ramos Před měsícem

      ​@@mrluddi124 they might have meant the book is literally heavy. It's a big one! I personally have read several patterns books, but head first is the best one by far.

  • @oscarhope
    @oscarhope Před měsícem

    Out of interest, what was your approach to reading these books? Did you e.g. parse through every page in chronological order? How many concepts/chapters were reasonable to try to comprehend in one sitting? Approx how frequently did you test your new knowledge by applying it in practice?
    Great video by the way! Purchased Clean Code and Fluent Python.

    • @denislearnstech
      @denislearnstech  Před měsícem +2

      Awesome! Yea I like to read them page by page from start to end.
      I don’t use books as dictionaries. I think it’s better to use internet for that.
      I am having a hard time focusing on reading a technical book for too long (especially when trying to dive deep into each statement) so I read 10-20 pages every sitting and I may sit like 3 times a day to read a book max.
      In terms of practicing - I was reading SQL book prev month and I was combining it with googling when I dont understand smth and then I did leetcode sql 50 list immediately after finishing the book.

    Preface: I don't mean to be rude or to flame, just stating a strong opinion.
    * Clean Code is a bad book (quick google search to reveal why). I don't know why people keep repeating the dogma. Not just that, but it could also be significantly shorter.
    * "For Dummies" series are generally known for not being the best, just subpar. No strong opinion on that one, however.
    * I've read Fluent Python cover-to-cover years ago, but looking back, consider it to have been a waste of time. You shouldn't have to read a manual on a programming language.
    * Microservice books are too specific to be applicable most of the time, especially not to "every software engineer". But I'd probably add DDIA to the list of great books in this area, and would prioritize reading that one first.
