"Closed. This question is seeking recommendations for books, tools, software libraries, and more."

I have to say I really detest SO for making this a generic rule. These questions are often top Google results and perhaps all the answers were good 3 year ago but it's missing up to date info because it's locked.

There's a lot of reasons to detest SO. They really seem to optimize around being a place to copy-and-paste snippets of barely-understood code. SO users seem to think of software as witchcraft. It's maddening.
