Where do I get my ideas and problems?

My school suggested the book, “Starting out with Java from Control Structures through Data Structures” by Tony Gaddis and Godfrey Muganda, to learn about the programming language Java so that is where I get my ideas and problems. My professor’s are also computer gods. If you’re interested in learning Java I highly recommend this book because it covers some basics and gets into more advanced stuff too.

I could just save these as files on my laptop, but I figure I might need room on my laptop to store other things. Plus, I might help inspire someone. Maybe someone looking for a software developer will like my style and hire me.

My school also suggested the book, “C# 6.0 and the .NET 4.6 Framework” by Andrew Troelsen and Philip Japikse. This book doesn’t have practice problems, but it does cover the basics and advanced stuff. I think a good follow up after reading that book would be, “Design Patterns in C#” by Steven John Metsker. I haven’t started the book, but design patterns are a good concept to know about when starting to write your own software.

Once I finish these books I plan to learn about some testing through the book suggested by my father, “Testing Computer Software” by Cem Kaner, Jack Falk, and Hung Quoc Nguyen. I haven’t done a lot with testing, but I do believe that it’s important to know about it.

Last but not least, “Agile Software Development: Principles, Patterns, and Practices” by Robert C. Martin is also on my list since Agile is a common development strategy in the industry. It also contains some C++ (which I still need to learn) and Java code. 

Some other books I would like to review that were suggested by my school are, “MySQL” and “PHP/MySQL” by Murach.
