Not just coding, but writing whole new type of code? History on coding be nice as well. I already own Hackers:Heroes of the Computer Revolution. But like other books on it as well.

I've found that learning programming from books to be more reliable, especially with how much slop there is on the modern web. I find that books (which don't necessarily need to come in the form of a physical book — there are some great ones that are fully online). A crucial aspect though, regardless of what resource you use, is that you need to do the exercises as you go. This is something that I wish that I had understood earlier; I wasted a lot of time trying to treat this learning as something that you can do purely from reading, whether that be books or resources on the web.
