Although DevOps isn’t an app developer, much of our work involves coding.

We write code every day. We write Python and shell scripting, Terraform blocks, Ansible playbooks, and a bunch of YAMLs. Many will argue with this, but in my opinion, if you want to be a really good DevOps engineer, you should understand programming languages as well.

In this article, you will find a list of 5 coding books for DevOps engineers.

This list is based on my personal experience. I have read each of these books.

Clean Code

Even bad code can function. But if code isn’t clean, it can bring a development organization to its knees. Every year, countless hours and significant resources are lost because of poorly written code. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Readers will come away from this book understanding:

  • How to tell the difference between good and bad code
  • How to write good code and how to transform bad code into good code
