Any good book recommendations? /u/Test_My_Patience74 CSCQ protests reddit

We have a professional development stipend and I’d like to spend some of it before the year is up. I like books or other development materials.

Topics I’m especially interested in, but anything else would work.

1. Networking – Never took a class in college, so most I know is L7 stuff like HTTP and GRPC and DNS.
2. Databases – Know a lot about relation and SQL-like, but I’m sure there’s paradigms and other pitfalls I would like to know about.
3. Big data and data processing – We move a lot of data where I work, and that comes with figuring the best way to store and aggregate on. Realtime vs batched, that kind of stuff.

4. AI systems – Not so much the theory on the models themselves but how to apply them effectively. Scalable, low-latency systems.

5. OS and Embedded Systems – I’m a backend engineer/API/feature monkey but this kinda stuff is still interesting to me for sure.

Any other recs are also greatly appreciated.
