[Chicago] Best programming / dev book in 2015

[Aisha Halim]

Excellent side advice...I'll have to try it with the video lectures next
time. Watching videos is a bit difficult but from the first lecture I
watched it's a lot more content than the book alone.

Little Schemer seems tame but a note taking and plugging it into the scheme
(or whatever other language you're doing it with) interpreter is the way to
go.

>Maybe too comfy, and maybe too cushy: I eventually hit a point where it
felt like, I've been doing these same things for so long, everything
feels the same and non-challenging.  That's a good sense that it's time
to mine yak hair in ye old lisp rabbit hole.

That's what drew me to these books. These are awesome for anyone in a rut.
