  2. "Python Crash Course" – Eric Matthes (Comprehensive beginner-friendly Python guide)
  3. "Eloquent JavaScript" – Marijn Haverbeke (For those starting with JavaScript)

For Computer Science Fundamentals

  1. "Introduction to the Algorithms" – Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest, Stein (A must-read for data structures and algorithms)
  2. "The Pragmatic Programmer" – Andrew Hunt, David Thomas (Teaches coding best practices)
  3. "Clean Code" – Robert C. Martin (For writing efficient and maintainable code)

For Advanced Topics

  1. "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" – GoF (For mastering software design patterns)
  2. "You Don't Know JS" Series – Kyle Simpson (For deep JavaScript knowledge)
  3. "Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code" – Martin Fowler (For improving code quality)

Since you're focusing on Python and app development, I recommend "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" and "Python Crash Course" to strengthen your basics. Then, move on to "Clean Code" and "The Pragmatic Programmer" for better coding practices.
