Here are a few more books:
1. Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software by ErichGamma, RichardHelm, RalphJohnson, and JohnVlissides (a.ka. GOF)
Reason: Simple that u probably wanna learn design pattern from the horse’s mouth itself.
2. Perl Best Practices By Damian Conway
Reason: You cannot possibly survive without that little bit of per. And you wanna do things right with perl, else it could get messy with time.
There are a lot more,because you haven’t still covered the JAVA side of the world and things get a lot more sophisticated with a bunch of “so called” frameworks that have emerged in the recent years.
