In this note I will try to collect the most influential and Favourite readings I have done over my lifetime. This is in continuous evolution as I discover (or remember) things.

In no particular order:

• learnopengl.com: this is how I started with 3D graphics, which eventually became Brenta-Engine. It may not be the best guide out there, but I would totally recommend it to anybody that wants to start working with 3D graphics.
• stb: collection of header only libraries. This inspired me to write my own micro-headers and to enter this "sub-genre" of header only, easy to reuse libraries.
• learncpp.com: the absolute best resource to learn about c++, other than the great cppreference. This made me appreciate the language greatly and motivated me to program more and more. C++ conferences on youtube are great too.
• the linuxfromscratch book: compiling and maintaining my own Linux system from scratch has been one of the best educational projects I have ever done. I became much more competent and, I have to say, fearless when it comes to compiling programs / dependencies and customizing the Linux kernel.
• Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution: great historical book about hacker culture and the beginning of computing. A wonderful and informative read, it made me familiar with the legendary names that shaped the computer world.
• Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual: the reference for the Intel architecture. I have nothing else to say, this is such a monumental book that tells you how to use the CPU. Super important for writing an operating system on Intel.
