Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Author, essayist, mathematical statistician, and risk analyst
“I always always recommend the book by Anastassios Papoulis. 1) Never start with stats, start with probability. 2) Never read a stat textbook not written by a probabilist. Beware, there are plenty, plenty, plenty of stats books written by psychologists!”

Consider Adaptive Code via C# by Gary McLean.
“Practical and code-focused, Adaptive Code via C# walks through SOLID principles, composition, design patterns, and refactoring techniques with C# examples and refactor walkthroughs. What works best is concrete, copyable techniques that help reduce coupling and make changes safer in a .NET codebase. The limitation is a prescriptive tone and heavy emphasis on C# specifics; readers who lack intermediate OOP experience or who want team/process guidance instead of code-level tactics may find much of the material dense or repetitive.”
