Back at it again.

This time I wanted to know what were the most recommended programming books ever 🏆

So I've compiled more than 1200 recommendations from 68 lists and came up with this top 25 most recommended programming books of all-time📕

THREAD👇
In short, I've compiled articles from Google search results for queries like "Best programming books" and many of its variations

I scraped all pages using @ScrapingBee, and, with custom rules for every page, extracted 📕 titles

Then deduplication + normalization + ✍ cleaning
A link to the detailed methodology will be put at the end of this thread.

% is the % of the time this book was recommended out of 208 lists.

So if % is 20%, one out of five lists about startups book have talked about this book.

The drone’s payload was tucked underneath, looking suspicious. Normally, delivery drones hold rectangular boxes covered in ads, but this one was shaped wrong, and there wasn’t even a logo. It was clearly sent by someone doing something they didn’t want to get caught doing. 1/?
The averment building had 14 stories of bachelor suites, 12 to a floor. The drone could never hit all of them, but its programming was highly aggressive: it’s okay to destroy yourself if you get out, say, half the payload. 2/?
It approached on a flight path that mimicked a delivery: straight to the tiny loading bay next to the entrance. So far, the building’s guard drones hadn’t activated, so it kept moving, the code waiting for the optimal moment to break off and fly towards the nearest windows. 3/?

yoongi manages to take a break from all the work he has to do at his company to go to his son’s recital for father’s day at his kindergarten. yoongi finds himself a little flustered when he sees his son’s teacher on stage with the kids, dressed up as a yellow puppy.
• mutual pining and fluff. if it wasn’t clear i’ll shout about it again: single dad yoongi!!! kindergarten teacher jimin!!! they crush on each other!!!

• this is a commission out of my drafts. it’s an original idea and the commissioner picked it up for me to finish writing it.
“If you don’t go to his school on friday I’m disowning you,” Yoongi’s mother has always been a sweetheart to him so Yoongi doesn’t act surprised with her comment.

Yoongi takes a sip from his wine to calm himself down. “Mom, I’m an adult. That threat doesn’t mean much anymore.”

When I wrote my 1st novel, I won New Crimewriter Of The Year on the strength of the 1st 3 chapters. That was all I'd written of it. Then the publisher, @HarperCollinsUK wanted the rest, obviously. I was about to go on tour with @officialnma so I bought a
cheap 2nd hand laptop & wrote whilst on the tour bus at night after the gigs, behind the tshirt stall where I was working, in hotels on days off. Merchandising on tour is hard physical labour. It was very tiring. Sometimes as I typed at the front of the bus
while it went through Poland in a snowstorm or wherever, the dark outside the windows a swirl of goose feathers and the endless night forests, my colleagues would lurch up the corridor between the bunks and ask for updates on the story.

They had roughly two weeks until the fight.

Jeongyeon was going crazy. Vampires, apparently, couldn't shut up on a group chat.

'Guys, look at how cute Taco looks when he sleeps!' Dahyun sends a picture of a cat.

Tzuyu sends, 'Cute.'

Mina sends, 'Awwn!'

Sana spams stickers.
Jeongyeon mutes the damn phone with a click of her tongue, putting it on the pocket inside her coat. She couldn't get distracted now; there was a vampire to hunt.

She moves slowly through the crowd, eyes searching and attentive ears. This fellow had been causing problems.
Then, she sees him. The picture back at the office had been clear enough for Jeongyeon to recognize his hair and features. He was accompanying a woman and both were chatting contently.

His victim, clearly. Jeongyeon follows them quietly until they take a turn on an empty street.

 It is really easy.
You can get information of its uses and applications in this nice review in @respcare ▶️ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27016353

This is basically the diagram 👇

 So back in 2012 in our country we wanted to try some kind of respiratory support for the youngest infants in which interfases for #NIV was difficult.

SO we came up with an idea: What if we dismantle the old ventilators we do not use any more?
