Could you please be a bit more specific? Are you wanting to study Computer Science on your own by reading books? If so, what programming languages have you learned so far? Are you wanting to work your way through a typical undergrad CS course of study?AhmedHesham said:
Or are you asking what other topics you should read about next? If so, what subjects do you like in STEM, and what are your goals in doing this reading?

As noted above, more info would be helpful.
One book that was very helpful to me was Bjarne Stroustup's "The C++ Programming Language" even though I never really learned object oriented programming or programmed any non-trivial programs in C++. I had already taken a few programming courses and knew Pascal, C, and Fortran fairly well, having completed significant projects in them. But it was Stroustrup's book that really got me focused on large scale program design, architecture, and building a program from the ground up for long term maintenance. Prior to reading that book, my habit was to simply write a program for the specific task at hand. After reading that book, my habit became to consider everything a software package might grow into in the first 5-10 years of its life and design it for sustainability, robustness, expansion, and testability in the longer term.

From the OP's previous posts (dating back to November 2019), he describes himself as a first-year engineering student (possibly majoring in civil engineering), and that he is Egyptian (I'm not sure if he is a student in Egypt, or elsewhere).

Hi guys
Thanks for replying
That's exactly what I wanted
By the way I am electronics engineering student from Egypt.
