Books on programming

Question

Which book series or which author is the best in teaching programming? I've heard Deitel or Dummies, but what's the ultimate one?

Answer 1

While I enjoy this website and code academy, it is easier for me to memorize syntax and various other parts of programming by being able to go over it in a book. I've started with the dummies books and it's working for me. Hope that helps.

Answer 2

For python : I loved Gerrard Swinnen

Answer 3

"Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs" by N.Wirth is a good starting point to get familiar with algorithmics. "The C programming language" by Kernigan&Ritchie is excellent for learning C.
