I think that there is a big difference between it being easy enough to find reading material and us - the project - making specific recommendations for material that we think is of particularly high quality and perhaps also relevance. The latter adds real value to our documentation.
I think that if there is evidence that the currently suggested material is not suitable anymore, then it would be great to replace it with another recommendation. Simon Original Message From: Sze Howe Koh Sent: Sunday, August 30, 2015 09:49 To: development@qt-project.org Subject: [Development] Documentation proposal: Remove recommended reading list of 20-year-old books Hi all, http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/threads.html#recommended-reading points readers to some books about multithreading. These books were published between 1995 and 1997, and have been well and truly superseded by newer ones. Rather than update the list, I plan to remove it completely. I don't think this list belongs in the Qt docs, just like how we don't maintain a list of "learning C++" books. It's easy enough these days to find reading material for these foundational topics. Any objections?
