[CentralOH] Books

Mon Dec 22 22:25:25 CET 2014

Those books sound exactly like what I am looking for. Indeed, the best way to learn programming is to do it, but my forearms and wrists need rest now, so just reading from this list should work well for me. I will see if the library has any of them.

Thanks for the list everyone,
Tim
