IMO , focus on the project based books. I think this next decade will only see more self educated and meritocratically qualified folks who actively seek out accessible material akin in approach to how they learnt to programme.

IMO, focus on where the industry is going:

1. Cloud infra

2. ML.

3. SPAs

4. IoT

I second this. I'm self-educated, do a lot of freelance work and end up working on a huge variety of projects. While I feel like I've got a pretty good handle on languages and general programming, sometimes it's really difficult to find good quality information on the specifics of how to implement project x on platform y.

Thanks for the input! I'll make note of these topics and look for some writers in these areas. I agree, I kind of hit a plateau in my technical skills, but these project based tutorials really helped push me forward again.
