What to read in your spare time?

Question

PHP

Good afternoon!
Looking for a job. Many jobs want me to have the experience of reading some cool book on programming.
The fact is that I learned the basic things in various tutorials (YouTube channels with lessons, various sites (codeacademy, htmlacademy ...)). And in general, I read and watched a certain base for 2 years, but not from scientific books. Also Google is my everything! And a toaster, of course. Without it, nowhere
. So, maybe there are tips on what to read at your leisure, according to

• PHP
  
• databases in general
  
• MySQL and others in particular
  
• design
  
• Other interesting science books
  
• Fiction on the topic (maybe there are such books, just simple books on programming, but so that the brain rests while reading :D )
  

About myself:

• 21 years old
  
• 4 course
  
• profile - 1C, which I do not deal with
  
• Code in PHP, VueJS, MySQL
  
• from Moscow
  
• Single
  

PS. It is also possible in English, but it is better to use your native language, so that it is more understandable. (so I watch tutorials in English, but you can see what is being done and where)
PPS. Well, I didn’t sit straight for 2 years in a row and learn everything, but in my free time. And now I’m doing a couple of small projects for myself and for my portfolio, so I would like to read something smarter.

Answer 1

Single

Definitely how to pick up girls ...
And I honestly hear reading books for the first time, usually they ask for experience with frameworks
Well, if so, read the PHP 7 language specification, ES2015. At the same time, fully understand the structure of the language

Answer 2

Install Zeal or read Dev.io online .
Also, if you use a humanoid OS and have an Android device, I advise you to install Man Man ( source , G...Play )

Answer 3

Of course, McConnell "Perfect Code",
Martin "Clean Code" Fowler 's
"Refactoring" " Object Oriented
Design Techniques" E. Gamma regular brain. On databases in general: a short "Architecture of a Database System" by JM Hellerstein, M. Stonebraker and J. Hamilton will talk about the general approaches to building a DBMS Bill Karwin SQL_Antipatterns - how not to write SQL. And here, by the way, is excellent material on how to write, but not a book: use-the-index-luke.
Fundamental, which are already going noticeably harder:
"Transactional Information Systems" Weikum, Vossen - a monumental theory of transactional processing
"Algorithms. Construction and Analysis" Thomas H. Kormen, Charles I. Leyzerson, Ronald L. Rivest, Clifford Stein - about basic algorithms. All library stuff, but most useful for understanding usually hidden machinery and for passing interviews.
