I am always stuck with this issue. Finding a good textbook to self-study from. There are various factors like cost etc.
I order from amazon india.
I can't seem to analyze review properly. I've bought nearly 40 computer science textbooks within a year and I've read only 1 properly and gained knowledge from there. It was java textbook by D.Liang. The best part of this book were exercises. And this was a foundational book so was easy to digest.
I ordered Computer Organization and Design MIPS Edition, And oh boy, that book is so basic and written for a self-learner(good thing but I prefer textbooks core textbooks style of writing).
I can't seem to find what I want to study in that book. For example: Instruction format, addressing mode. I look at index, and it takes me somewhere else. I am quite baffled with this book.
Now, I am going to buy another Computer Organization and Architecture book. But I want to really make sure that the book clicks for me. How do I analyze the reviews to research the perfect book for my use case?
