A comment on Some of my favourite programming books.

I'm a junior dev with ~2 years experience. Currently I'm primarily doing back-end web work on a massive spaghetti codebase written in Node, Python, and PHP.

My current reading list:

* Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction - Steve McConnell

* Agile Software Development - Robert C. Martin

Upcoming reading list:

* Node.js Design Patterns - Mario Casciaro

* The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master - Andrew Hunt

* Clean Code - Robert C. Martin

* Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code - Martin Fowler

And maybe Working Effectively with Legacy Code by Michael Feathers.

If anyone has any comments or other suggested readings I'd love to hear them!

It's compiled half from other people's lists and half from searching for books to learn specific skills. It may be a bad list.
