The second edition adds new chapters on AI inference, AI training, and building robust systems for the real world.

Clean Code

Robert C. Martin

This gives us a lot of good tips to write better code. We need to code thinking others will read it.

I liked this book a lot. I tend to use these advices in the day by day coding, not all of them, you can pick the ones you find useful.

Clean Architecture

Robert C. Martin

This book is like an extension of Clean Code. It is like same principles applied to software architecture.

.NET Microservices: Arch. for Containerized .NET Applications

Cesar de la Torre, Bill Wagner, Mike Rousos

Good book to get introduced into the microservices world. We can learn by actually coding a microservice.

Cracking the Coding Interview

Not only to prepare for coding interviews. This one teach you a lot of things that every software engineer needs to know.

Domain-Driven Design Distilled

Vaughn Vernon

'The book' to learn DDD.

Designing Data-Intensive Applications

Martin Kleppmann

A long book, but this is like a mandatory reference for some software architecture sections.

You can find how different types of DBs are implemented or how distributed system manage replication.

System Design Interview - An insider's guide

Alex Xu

Very good to prepare your self to coding interviews's system design questions. But also have I have learned a lot of things regarding to software architecture and how big systems works.

Also, the references you can find here are gold.

System Design Interview - An insider's guide: Volume 2

Alex Xu, Sahn Lam

An extension of volume 1 with some more examples. As the first volume, this is very good. This one continues teaching us a lot of amazing stuffs.

Again, follow the references.

Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code

Martin Fowler

Very good book. I've realized that I didn't know what 'refactoring' means. I was doing something different without know it wasn't 'refactoring'.
