Book lists I recommend
As I was going through my library of books, I collected them in the past few years like this:
I had to do some bad spring cleaning…

I have read all these books at least 5 times. I felt like I had too many books, so I wanted to downsize a bit. All are extremely fun to learn, but can also be dense. I’m excited to get going on the first book YouTube series and add to my course on Husky Hack Labs.
Note, I am The Husky Hacker, Aaron Ashly. Not Matt. I don’t even want to compare to his level. That was going around for a minute, and that thought was funny.
Like all books, I love reading, but definitely hit where I need to pass out. Thank you for reading!
