OK, one question for the #uk people in my timeline. This something I found when I moved to England 15 years ago, and I find it really weird.
Why there aren't "proper" computer science books at the public library, book shops or even 2nd hand book shops?
At the public library you can see the odd "for dummies" book, but that's pretty much it.
Not even an old Perl or Java book? 🤔
