Nope with an exception for CS academic theory. One year for CS is like a decade for human life and thus almost every IT book gets obsolete after a relase. That's why I read official docs or getting started, they are far more accurate and up to date. In rare occasions where doc is not too good, I check source code - it never lies.

Yeah it really depends on the book.

I have a lot of algorithm, math and theory books. Theory rarely changes, it’s just added onto.

I also have a few books on C around that I’ve worked through and use as a reference.

Other than that, I just check docs.
