A book is categorized as a piece of information authored by someone. Within the book, there is typically an introduction about the author and information related to the book itself. This can be organized either from the first chapter to the last or under a specific title that includes detailed information and structures.
Reading involves examining a piece of information through recognized words, allowing you to process and understand what the writer conveys. To effectively grasp the writing, you must have previously learned that information before mastering the art of reading. In Islam, reading is highly encouraged; this is emphasized in the Quran in Surah Al-Iqra, where those with knowledge and ilm are viewed as good Muslims who can contribute positively to society.
At present, I want to share that I have been reading “Code Complete,” written by Steven McConnell, to enhance my programming skills. I purchased “Code Complete” not long ago, but I had no time to delve into it until recently when I managed to return to a more organized reading schedule.
The book contains numerous pages and is filled with various chapters and structures. This is advantageous because it allows you to focus on specific chapters and topics within the book instead of having to read all the pages. This book has significantly aided my understanding of effective design and coding. It covers subjects such as classes, pseudocode programming, variables, and more. I haven’t retained all the information since I just recently started reading it.
The reference for this book comes from where I purchased it during the lecture courses on Gamedev TV, where the instructor recommended it as part of the learning process to enhance coding skills in C++. However, I never completed those courses at that time because of limitations and being heavily occupied with other tasks and assignments. I hope to eventually return to finish those C++ coding courses.
Even though this book is cited in that context, the illustrations within convey a different narrative than what the references suggest. I acknowledge that this code is intended for software construction, particularly for creating applications for Windows, where programming languages such as Java, Visual, and C++ are employed. This book is highly recommended for software engineers, game developers, and other careers related to computer science, as it aids in improving coding skills. I hope to gain and enhance my coding abilities in the future.
In conclusion, reading books is tremendously beneficial and significantly contributes to the improvements one requires. Various non-Islamic sources also emphasize the importance of reading, as it helps individuals become better versions of themselves. The knowledge acquired not only facilitates personal growth but also assists in securing employment and contributing positively to one’s life. Insha’Allah, everything derives from Allah. We should do what is necessary to make the world a better place.
