Is there any good literature for learning programming without practice?

Question

Books

Please tell me, are you interested in literature on programming such that you can read it, for example, on the road or in some queue length, that is, when there is no access to a computer and, accordingly, to practice, and literature like "Examples of cool Python chips" and etc., roughly speaking, not quite at the address. If there is something like this on web programming, in particular with an emphasis on python, please recommend.

Answer 1

You can read Uncle Bob or McConnell. However, if you are just starting to program - then practice, practice and practice again.
However, I’ll add a little to my answer, it’s unlikely that McConnell or Robert Martin will be able to read in line, there you need to think about the good even more than in articles with examples of language or design chips. I usually in such cases just listen to podcasts where topics are discussed very light.

Answer 2

Classics:
"Perfect Code" by McConnell
"Clean Code" by Martin
"Refactoring" by Fowler
Gang of "four" by design patterns.
You can fiction - "The Mythical Man-Month" or books by Joel Spolsky (yes, the same one that created stackoverflow).
If you want to thrash and completely uporo - then Donald Knuth. But it's quite heavy. And besides, useless. In my practice, I have not met a single programmer who has read at least one of the four volumes.
