In the process of building the curriculum of our educational projects, we have compiled a list of specialized books recommended for study in each of the disciplines — a total of more than 100 titles for the entire period of study. We will not conceal and present to you this list, accompanied by brief comments. It is difficult to contain such a volume of information in one article, so the review of literature recommended by Technopark is divided into four parts - by the number of semesters, with a small addition of useful books offered by students. Links in the comments on additional interesting reading are welcome.

The first semester is designed to “align” students' knowledge. It contains disciplines such as algorithms and data structures, C ++ programming, as well as an overview course on web technologies. With books on these subjects and the review will begin. Most of the books presented belong to the ageless "classics", which is a collection of fundamental concepts.

Book: Refactoring Using Templates
Posted by: Joshua Kerievski

Joshua Kerievski founded Industrial Logic , but we are better known as the author of the book, accumulating the experience of a professional developer in the use of design patterns.

Kerievski teaches to avoid both insufficient and redundant design, strive to constantly analyze the performance of the code, simplify its understanding and maintenance. Based on both his own and other people's experience, the author examines in detail the various features of the code that requires refactoring, describes which refactoring is best suited for a given situation, and describes its mechanics. The book presents 27 complex refactorings.

Kirievski refers to Fowler’s book Refactoring. Improvement of the existing code ”, therefore, for a deeper understanding of the ways of introducing“ Refactoring using templates ”patterns into the program architecture, it is recommended to read them later. You do not need additional knowledge, and although all are given in Java, they do not use the complex features of the language. The book will be useful as a middle-level programmers, as well as professionals.
