I`m currently reading Java by Thompson International and an e book on c++ compiliers

For C# or .NET development, it is also worthwhile to read

Ms Press - Inside CLR via C#

The reason is that this book would guide you how to write your code and choices of syntaxes so then it is compliant with .NET framework and also to maximize the CLR functionality to avoid reinventing the wheel.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

Not sure if you're asking a weird question, but mostly I assume programmers here are the one who take up programming-related course be it B.Sc Comp Science or some mechanical engineering or E&E courses. From there, books and internet are there to enhance & brush C++.

Learning from scratch on programming from books and internet is very unlikely unless you have a profound interest in it.

Seam 3 tutorial. If u want to learn about jboss seam 3.

Object Models: Strategies, Patterns, and Applications by Peter Coad
Java Modeling In Color With UML by Peter Coad
Analysis Patterns by Martin Fowler

Fantastic modeling books!

Some ASP.NET and MVC books from WROX. Pretty good.

C book, because that's what missing from this world...
seriously, it's free and pretty (or very) decent:

Author's blog (Jan Gustedt):

where would u guys recommend reading tutorials for beginners? i just joined a programming company lately, they mainly uses linux, sql, and shellscript. am coping with basics okay but i cant really look for good online tutorials/reads

For microsoft technology tutorial, usually I will refer to their https://docs.microsoft.com/en-my/

Would suggest:
Clean Code and Clean Architecture by Bob.
Then move to DDD books.

I learnt from a book but that was a long time ago there might be some online courses too.

Personally I think there is nothing wrong with picking up programming from a book. When I went to university 25 years ago and did computer engineering we spent more time being taught software engineering concepts. Example operating systems, compilers, computer graphics ray tracing, artificial intelligence (expert systems, neural networks, language recognition, searching), software development processes. Programming was just a tool we never had a course called programming we were just were taught the concepts and had to develop a project based based on the concepts example a ray tracing application, an expert system etc...

We were expected to pick up the languages ourselves. If you are not able to pick up a language from a book maybe programming might not be right for you due to lack of interest or you might have have also picked up the wrong book.

If you have not programmed before it’s better to pick up a book with some exercises at the end of each chapter with sample answer programs. If you don’t have exercises to practise you would most probably finish the book and still be totally confused.

As a software developer, we need to be careful with our licenses.

Anyone suggest some programming test like coderank for practice?

Hackerank is good.

How to start?
