I am not talking about books that teaches you the API and frameworks and tells you how to accomplish something in the real-world, like a React or Django book.
I am looking for suggestions of books where programming (not framework/standard library API calling) is used to accomplish something.
Any language is fine. Any MOOC or playlist is fine, too.
Some examples:
1. Nature of Code
2. Classic Computer Science Problems in Python
3. Math Adventures with Python
4. Realm of Racket
5. Digital Signal Processing in Python by Allen Downey
6. Python Playground by Mahesh Venkitachalam
7. Hands-on Rust by Herbert Wolverson
Currently reading: 'Inhibitor Phase' by Alastair Reynolds (60% read), 'Wayward' by Hannah Mathewson (50%), '10,000 Light Years from Home' by James Tiptree Jnr (50%), 'Rust for Rustaceans' by Jon Gjengset (20%), and 'Hands-on Rust' by Herbert Wolverson (10%).
