Study Stuff Backend [SSB]

A repository with all my study materials (focused on Java ☕️). Here you'll find links to books, articles and other study stuff that I'm using to increase aabilities of Software Engineering...

I hope it helps another one who desires to do so.

Books 📚

Read about technical content is always a good way to understand a little bit more how things work. Here are some books to help with programming language, algorithms and design patterns used on the world of software engineering

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." ― Albert Einstein

Java

• Elements of Programming Interviews in Java: The Insiders' Guide

Algorithms

• Cracking the code interview
• Algorithms, Fourth Edition
• Grooking algorithms

Design Patterns

• Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
• Clean Architecture: A Craftsman's Guide to Software Structure and Design
• Design patterns implemented in Java

Articles 📝

These articles helped me to figure out "how it works on real-world".
