Andrew O'Brien (Nov 26 2024 at 00:52): Andrew O'Brien (Nov 26 2024 at 00:52):So work gives us a very generous professional development stipend. Like enough to go across the country for a major week long conference or pay most of a year of MS tuition. Family commitments keep me from doing either, so I effectively have an infinite book budget.
I get ebooks for things that I expect to go out of date within a couple years. But I like to get hard copies of “the classics”, foundational references, and books that people still recommend 10 years after they’re published.
Examples of ones I already have:
My current interests include operating systems, networking, embedded, and performance. I like deep discussions about implementing real things. I’d like to start using Rust in anger at some point (after doing at least two tutorials), but I also tend to shy away from language specific books unless there’s really good.
Matthew Sanabria (Nov 28 2024 at 05:28):What about an online training or similar? Perhaps a focused course on Rust?
Andrew O'Brien (Dec 06 2024 at 18:10):Good call. I'm actually going to use a chunk of it on an Embedded Linux training from Buildlin.
