Ask HN: Are older programming books useful? https://ift.tt/Iv9wgpE For context, I'm a librarian purchasing tech books for my public library. We have around 30 books just on Python alone, not counting any that are about using Python for things like machine learning or data science. Other than clear version changes (like Python 2 to Python 3), are older programming books still useful? The majority of the books span from around 2014 to the present, and they're all still circulating. Thanks! (And thank you for the book recommendations posted here as well, I have definitely purchased some of them for our collection.) 8
