Code Complete by Steve McConnell is a very good one.

I'm Vasudev Ram, an independent software consultant, trainer, and writer, with many years of software experience in multiple technologies and business domains. Software and database design, Python, Flask, SQL and many relational databases, Unix and Linux, PDF generation and the use of many open source tools and libraries, are among my main (current) technology skills, though I've worked on many other areas earlier, such as Ruby, Rails, Java, servlets, C (a lot, on Unix, some on Windows), Visual Basic, and proprietary and higher-end Unix versions (HP-UX and others).
I also have team leadership and project management experience in companies where I worked.
I have a lot of experience on 1) software development projects (spanning different parts of the life cycle, such as requirements, design, development, and testing), and 2) some experience on software product development, in companies (and also increasingly, by my own independent product work).
I was the team leader for a successful database middleware product developed in C on Windows, which was somewhat widely used in client projects.
Programmatic PDF generation is one of my niche interests, and I created xtopdf, a PDF creation toolkit for Python; see this presentation about xtopdf for an overview:
http://slides.com/vasudevram/xtopdf
xtopdf is used by some well-known organizations (and others), including Packt Publishing (UK), the Software Freedom Law Center (USA), and ESRI (NL). I've received email from people from these organizations, telling me that they use and like xtopdf.
Follow me on Gumroad for my software product updates - I will release some products over time (software, books and courses):
https://gumroad.com/vasudevram/follow
If you follow, you will only get email from me when I release a new product or a new version of an existing product.

Blog: http://jugad2.blogspot.com - about Python, Linux, open source, startups, innovation, ... (see About page there) - running it from 2008, so a lot of posts there.
I've written a few technical articles, which have been somewhat well received, on topics such as C (about developing Linux utilities), Python (about using xtopdf), Linux (about using Knoppix) and vi (a vi quickstart tutorial), on sites like IBM developerWorks, Packt Publishing, and Linux For You. Links to the the articles are available from the About page of my blog (see above) or from my web site (see above).

Use the same sort of URL as the above 3, to get categories of posts with other labels - just change the label at the end of the URL, i.e the word after the last slash. Or look at the right margin of my blog to find labels for topics of interest (warning - it is rather long).

He also has a YouTube video on the same subject.

What does the highlighted part above mean?
I know what Netty is, but did not understand that phrase above,
Here is my uneducated guess:
In math, after sum and product, comes exponent :)
So they may have used that third term in an analogous manner in the example.
I saw this in the OP:
>For example, creating a binding with the Tk library
and had also been thinking about this separately a few days ago, hence the question.
I don't know if you have checked out black gram, aka urad dal or urid dal. It is used with rice in the batter for idli and dosa in a 1:3 ratio.
high in protein.
Well said.
Man, you are on a mission, to enable manumission!
I too can sling a bit of Latin. ;)
Here is one phrase, in which one word, malus, is like an off-by-one error from your manus word, so to speak :) :
nemo malus nisi probetur
https://www.google.com/search?q=nemo+malus+nisi+probetur
From the AI overview (need to at least try that out a few times after all the talk about Google enshittification like by Cory Doctorow in this year's PyCon US keynote:
>Nemo malus nisi probetur" is a Latin legal maxim that translates to "No one is evil unless proven." It signifies that a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. This principle is fundamental to legal systems that value fairness and due process, ensuring that accusations are substantiated before a person is considered culpable. Here's a breakdown of the phrase:
Nemo: No one
malus: Evil, bad, wicked
nisi: Unless
probetur: Is proven, is shown, is demonstrated
A man is a human.
or even just add a comma at the right place:
"I counted all of the yurts in Mongolia, using machine learning"

Georgette Heyer novels are another series in the same category. Some good writing and depictions there.

What is Frege?
Winner of the JavaOne Emerging Languages Bowl 2015, 2016, 2017
Frege is a Haskell for the JVM.
Like any Haskell, it is purely functional, enjoys a strong static type system with global type inference and non-strict - also known as lazy - evaluation.
Frege compiles to Java, runs on the JVM, and uses any Java library you want. It can be used inside any Java project.

Just like you are weak, and essentially always incorrect, when you judge others, without substantiation of your statements - as you did above. So, you are no better than the person you replied to above.
And apart from your use of the word "essentially" being essentially redundant, and hence adding nothing of value to your statement, did you know about the word "wrong"? It can easily replace your use of the word "incorrect" (which fancy-pants people tend to use, when simpler equivalent ones exist, probably to impress others), for a saving of a whole four letters - per use! Gee!

(Something theologians debate about endlessly and absolutely uselessly. That is all they are good, er, bad, for.)
Yeah, right. Pontificating much? Pathetic.
How do you know he/she is "weak"? No argument provided. And the same for "incorrect".
And who the hell are you to judge them?
Let me apply some of your own judgement "ointment" on you:
>essentially always incorrect.
Your use of the word essentially in that phrase is essentially inessential. :) The meaning is equally well conveyed without that word. IOW, it's fluff, and can be done away with, fluffy kid. (wags wings at you. hi!)
Grok what I mean?
Grr.
;)
