6 Books to Learn and Master Programming and Coding - Must Read

Coding is an integral part of programming and we all somehow learn coding by following examples here and there. What is more difficult is to write good code. You can easily find programmers in Java, C++, Ruby or Python, but finding programmers, who are also good coder is very difficult. Some universities has good curriculum and practical classes to teach coding better than others, but most of these great codes are self-taught. Point is self learning is VERY important in field of Programming and Coding, you just cannot rely on your college and university to make you an expert programmer, you have to make that extra effort to distinguish yourself from the group. What could be best by learning coding and wisdom of programming form those who have gone through the same path. Uncle Bob is big advocate of clean coding and object oriented design, and as much I have learn about coding and programming from his series of books, I have not learned anywhere. Martin Fowler is another great name in software design, development and testing, and his book on Refactoring is must read for any serious programmer. Recently I come across an infographic about 10 Books That Make You Expert in Programming. Though I don't agree with all the books they have there, I definitely agree with the top 6 and the last book, which is an all time classic on design patterns. I thought to share that with you guys, If you are more inclined to web programming you will also find rest of the books more valuable, but If you are server side Java programmer, you will definitely find top 5 worth reading.
