"This list is for people who want to become Associate Software Engineers at Blizzard. An associate should have skills at the level indicated by these books. Note that this is almost completely focused on C++ programming. This list is incomplete. I need a book on how to become a professional. I've listed several books that give examples of professional behavior, but not one on the actual training."
