Great list Simon and thx for including my book. I actually like the idea of a developer for developer books, keep it up.
P. S. - Anyone interested in buying my book Grokking the Java interview can get it now for just $10.99 (usually $19.9) until tomorrow.
Here is the link - gumroad.com/l/QqjGH
Sure thing, you deserve it :)
Great list, thanks for aggregating them!
I'd also include "Doing Content Right" by Steph Smith on the list, it is a well-organized book on creating content on a consistent basis. It also sheds light on building your blog, doing SEO, adding monetization, etc.

Thanks for the comment, gonna reach out to her!
Awesome list! I will definitely check most of them!
Another one that is a really interesting read and good to use as a guide for many stuff is the O' Reilly: Software Engineering at Google learning.oreilly.com/library/view/...
Thank you, Harris!
Awesome list, thanks for sharing!
In case you're interested, I've put up a bunch of resources for developers on devresourc.es, and I'll make sure to add a "books" section there too.
Feel free to check it out! :)
Nice list! If anybody is interested in JavaScript i have a book that's free to read on GitHub github.com/AlbertoMontalesi/The-co...
There's also a course by the same name on educative, i won't link because I'm spamming myself enough
Hey Alberto, would be cool if you add your book to the site so othersca find it there 😊
Done! One suggestion may be to be able to select both Free and Paid. For example my book (but also the YDKJS book 1) are free to read on github or you can pay for it on leanpub/amazon.
Hey Alberto, thanks for the submission. That's a good hint, will add this to my roadmap!
thanks very much for the mention! :) :)
intend to buy it but by the way the cover lacks a bit of sex appeal ;)
thanks haha yeah i am no designer, spent like 2 hours on it on canva and then never touched it again. will happily take a redesign idea if you have them.. or i might do some kind of 99designs contest in june when i launch v2
OK I'll propose a new cover :)
I made a simple cover for my future own book (in french) dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/...
Do you like that kind of style ?
the font and colors look good, but it's a lot of words! still overall feels professional, nice job.
Yes but it's for the frenches :D Yours don't have so many words so it should be even easier to do the cover :)
I made a quick cover for your book i.imgur.com/aWAyxVk.png
Of course don't bother if you don't like it ;)
oh nice, thank you very much!
but yea i like the one i have now compared to this... the point was to have one duck with the sunglasses, so that it symbolizes the reader who is a cool duck compared to the others 😂
ok fine :)
Great list and great idea with DevBooks! We have lots of awesome indie authors in our field. I've also written a few dev career books (Portfolio Surgery, Freelance Newbie, How to Get a Job in Web Development) and will definitely be submitting them soon!
Cool!
I would also recommend book "Make" by Pieter Levels
Yeah, I like that one!
Great list and as always great article 🙌
You can check out my open-sources Introduction to Bash Scripting eBook here too:

Hey Bobby, thank you! You could add your book so that others can find it :)
Thanks for the suggestion! I've just submitted it! 🙌
Awesome, I already pushed it to the site :)
Awesome! Thanks for that!
Awesome list!
If anyone is looking for a comprehensive self-help book for aspiring coders, you might want to check out my book "Crossing the Rubycon: How to Learn to Code and Build a Programming Career" gumroad.com/l/fhIFH
I packed the book with concrete, practical advice as well as useful insider tips and encouraging stories about learning to code and finding a programming job as a code newbie. All in all, this is the book I wish I could have read 3 years ago when I was teaching myself to code.
P.S. You can check out reviews from the readers on goodreads goodreads.com/book/show/56082981-c...
This is a great list! Thanks for including my book :)
I'll recommend another! One that I really like is Sandi Metz's Practical Object Oriented Design in Ruby (she's given some excellent talks as well).
It taught me a lot about software design, how to think about where responsibilities should lie, which parts of the code should "own" behaviors, and that kind of thing. Software design stuff can be really abstract (e.g. Design Patterns) but Sandi's book makes it understandable with concrete examples. I think it's pretty accessible even if you don't know Ruby, and the things it talks about are mostly universal principles that apply to functional and OO styles alike. Definitely worth checking out.
Love your book, Dave, of course, it's on the list :)
And thanks for the recommendation, I will take care of that! And Sandi can even add it to the site on her own if she wants :)
Thanks for sharing. Interestingly, "for developers. by developers" is Devopedia's tagline.
Didn't know that but it's a good fit :)
I didnt know some of the books, thanks for bringing them up. Please don't forget "Your first year in code" which was written from a team of dev.to members :)
leanpub.com/firstyearincode
Right, we should add that!
And it's live :)
Thank you :)
Great list I really enjoyed that this didn't include any of the titles I was assuming to see in a programming/dev book list.
Thanks, Barry. Yeah, I think we've already seen the same 10 books over and over again :)
Thanks for sharing the list!
Sure thing, glad you like it!
Thanks!
Sure thing!
Great! Thanks
Thanks a lot, Simon for such a great blog. It is really very helpful.
You are welcome, my friend :)
Thanks for sharing
Sure thing!
awesome <3
Glad you like it! :)
I really enjoyed reading Building an Effective Dev Portfolio! So many awesome tips, and I've used the cover letter section to revamp my own cover letters.
Great list, thanks Simon!
Glad you like it, Jonathan :)
Though all the books seems great, I loved the Building an Effective Dev Portfolio book! Thanks for the awesome collection.
Yeah, it's a great read, glad you like it!
I've published a lot of free developer books, some on my dev.to but most here if you wanna check them out :D
Thanks, will do!
Great service and great selections - thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Greg!
Thank you for putting together this list of excellent reading materials.
Sure thing!
excellent list
Thanks :)
Great list ! Thank you.
you're welcome :)
If you know of some fantastic books that are missing, please mention them and reach out to their authors to submit them :)
I recommend Grokking Algorithms by Aditya Bhargava.
Thanks, let's see if we can get his book submitted
DevOps and Containers Security: Security and Monitoring in Docker Containers
Links
amazon.es/dp/B085NMP3CV
bpbonline.com/products/706365
Through this book, we will introduce the DevOps tools ecosystem and the main containers orchestration tools through an introduction to some platforms such as Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and OpenShift.
Among other topics, both good practices will be addressed when constructing the Docker images as well as best security practices to be applied at the level of the host in which those containers are executed, from Docker’s own daemon to the rest of the components that make up its technological stack.
We will review the topics such as static analysis of vulnerabilities on Docker images, the signing of images with Docker Content Trust and their subsequent publication in a Docker Registry will be addressed. Also, we will review the security state in Kubernetes.
In the last section, we will review container management and administration open source tools for IT organizations that need to manage and monitor container-based applications, reviewing topics such as monitoring, administration, and networking in Docker. What will you learn:
● Learn fundamental DevOps skills and tools, starting with the basic components and concepts of Docker.
● Learn about Docker as a platform for the deployment of containers and Docker images taking into account the security of applications.
● Learn about tools that allow us to audit the security of the machine where we execute Docker images, finding out how to secure your Docker host.
● Learn how to secure your Docker environment and discover vulnerabilities and threats in Docker images.
● Learn about creating and deploying containers in a security way with Docker and Kubernetes.
● Learn about monitoring and administration in Docker with tools such as cadvisor, sysdig, portainer, and Rancher.

Mastering Python for Networking and Security - Second Edition
It's becoming more and more apparent that security is a critical aspect of IT infrastructure, now more than ever. Major security incidents such as data breaches are usually carried out by hacking a simple network line. Increasing your network's security can help you step up your defenses against cyber attacks.
Python is being used for increasingly advanced tasks, with the latest update introducing many new libraries and packages featured in the Python 3.7.4 version and beyond. This book will guide you through using these updated packages to build a secure network with the help of Python scripting. You’ll cover a range of topics, from building a network to the different procedures you need to follow to secure it.
Starting by exploring different packages and libraries, you’ll then understand different ways to build a network with the help of Python scripting. As you progress, you will learn how to check a network's vulnerability using Python security scripting. In later chapters, you will get to grips with how to achieve endpoint protection by leveraging Python packages along with writing forensic scripts.
By the end of this Python book, you will be able to get the most out of the Python language to build secure and robust networks that are resilient to attacks.
