I've been really fortunate through the years to be surrounded by people who are dedicated to continuous learning and improvement. A few years ago, I put together a reading list as part of an engineering department reboot. I updated it late last year. I have rough reading/discussion times for some of it. What am I missing?
Notes
- Video time slots are roughly 80% watching, 20% discussion
