I like learning about tech stuff from Youtube videos, podcasts, conferences, and other (preferably in-person when there’s not a pandemic going around) events. But I love reading about IT field related stuff to a point where I feel competent in whatever topic happens to peak my interests.
Josh Duffney’s blog explains this more eloquently than I can, but sometimes reading e-Ink on a kindle, or better yet a physical paper book, is just more enjoyable than anything I could do on a backlit screen. Github has almost everything I’ve read since 2010 if you want a complete list, this page is more of a “greatest hits”. Below are some of the most impactful books I’ve read over the years, hopefully some of them will spark some ideas you otherwise might not be exposed to on the interwebs!
General Technology:
Cybersecurity:
Leadership:
How to Win Friends & Influence People
Career:
Networks: (I don’t count certification guides as those go obsolete too quickly to list here)
Computer Networking Problems and Solutions
