If my child wanted to study computer science, I would buy them these books.
If I had children, they would definitely be the same as me. They loved sitting at the computer. But it would be bad if they only consumed. I would talk to my child, does she want to create something herself? For example, not play other people's games, but make her own? And this would even help her a lot in a world where you have to earn money. So, to create something you need skills and knowledge. And I wouldn't mind buying her a book. But not just reading. But practicing. So, I'm creating this list for myself. And for others too.
