Five Coding Books Worth Reading

Here are 5 coding books that I recommend reading if you're learning software development:

1. A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms - 38.6K Teaches basic data structures and algorithms. Explained in a beginner-friendly way with code snippets.

2. Clean Code - How to write readable, understandable code that's easy to maintain. Focuses on naming, functions, comments, formatting and more.

3. Pragmatic Programmer - Tips and best practices for software development like writing DRY code, refactoring, testing, tracking requirements etc.

4. Designing Data-Intensive Applications - How to store and process data at large scale. Covers replication, APIs, sharding. It's good for learning backend and distributed systems.

5. Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software - This is a classic book that introduces design patterns, which are reusable solutions for object-oriented code.
