The best tech books you should read

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It is the time of year when we have the most free time, when we like to disconnect, but it is also the ideal time to read and catch up. 

We didn’t want to spend the opportunity to share with you the best tech books, so who better than our expert colleagues to make the recommendations? We asked them to think about the best books related to our sector and they have done their homework because they have left us a very interesting list of their favorites and a brief explanation of why they are worth it.
