Looking for Programming Book Recommendations to Start Learning AI and Game Development

Just a heads up, diving into Machine Learning and Graphics Programming can be pretty daunting. These areas usually require a solid base in math (especially for ML) and sometimes physics for graphics. For general coding, basic math is okay, but as for books, you might want to check out 'The 100 Page Machine Learning Book' and the 'Raytracing in a Weekend' series. They're more like introductions, and trust me, it’s a big learning curve even after two years in programming! If you’re aiming for web development instead, that’s a different path altogether.

Honestly, the best way to make concepts stick is by actively coding while you learn. A great resource I found was the Odin Project; it does a fantastic job of blending theory with practice. Remember, just reading can feel satisfying, but it doesn't substitute for actually getting your hands dirty in the code. Try not to overwhelm yourself with too much info all at once.
