What to read to form the foundation of the foundations?

Question

IT education

Hello.
In the near future I will begin to master the profession. For myself, I noted web and mobile development (I will choose later).
Higher economic education, computer science was at school and college.
Tell me, please:
1. What can be read to a person who is just starting his self-study?
I am in search of a source for learning the basics of the basics, some kind of basis that every beginner should know. Perhaps read computer science textbooks or are there specific books for complete beginners who studied computer science at school and want to restore in their heads what the textbooks are about? Before learning HTML / CSS / JS and the like (depending on the chosen direction), I want to create a foundation.
2. As far as I know, people with a technical background have a different way of thinking. What can be read very first to understand how a programmer thinks and how he solves problems? Again, I want to build a foundation in this direction.

Thanks in advance for any replies on the subject.

Answer 1

What you can read before HTML/CSS/JS
Start with math, without knowing math, at least the usual "tower" in the "college" is difficult to program.
And so there is nothing terrible in HTML / CSS / JS, everything is easy and simple, you can watch video courses on torrents.

Answer 2

As far as I know, people with a technical background have a different way of thinking.

How did you know that?

to understand how a programmer thinks and how he solves problems?

To be able to solve problems, you need to solve problems. To be able to think, you need to think more often.

Answer 3

As far as I know, people with a technical background have a different way of thinking. What can be read very first to understand how a programmer thinks and how he solves problems?

He doesn't read about what thinking is.
He just solves problems. After solving a large number of problems, your thinking gets used to solving problems and you have magical technical thinking.

Answer 4

books need to be read, go to the nearest bookstore and buy them first
