Best Books for Novice Hackers?


Hey all

Been programming on and off for around a year. It’s getting somewhat enjoyable but find much of the literature I’ve came across is aimed towards beginners or towards professionals. Thus I kind of get stuck repeating concepts, doing tutorials or venturing into career knowledge for developers - which I don’t want to be.

Does anyone any cool book suggestions around ‘hacking’, E.g throwing together and building projects recreationally?

I was thinking about your dilemma and recalled an old web page I used for OpenScad coding, it was called "10 things to know how to do in OpenScad to become dangerous" or something like that.

It seems a commercial entity has grabbed the "become dangerous" expression nowadays and is offering courses.

But after a bit more consideration, the true value of that old web page was that it was infact a cheat sheet of sorts. Like you said beginners learn the syntax, professionals get way too in depth.

So here is a link to a bunch of cheat sheets, I hope this helps you in your hacking endeavors.
