I would argue that you'd need Publically Traded Companies, and thus Stocks, and thus a Stock Market, and also Stock Exchanges to be able to form a Capitalism.
Of course, "private ownership of the means of production" is an important aspect as well.
The American generational names only exist because the person who gets to name the new name get a ton of cash to spread the definition, even though those definitions are completely arbitrary.
I've played a few singleplayer MMOs over the years, but none of them are like World of Warcraft. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning came closest, but that's probably because it was going to BE an MMO, originally. No tab-targeting like WoW though. No jumping either.
Once you know how to write code (in any language) it's important to learn how to rewrite it (into something better)
Test-Driven Development with Python
Because manually stepping through your code is a PITA, so it's better to put that process into code that you can save and re-run without thinking about it.
Head first java
Any of the Head First series are great introduction books. Head First Design Patterns is great to learn programming patterns that you can typically re-use in any language :D
Fundamentals of Software Architecture
Haven't read this one, but learning about architecture is important so you can keep your UI, logic and data layers separate, so when you need to replace one layer (like the UI, because the boss wants a refresh), you don't need to pull out all your hairs due to frustration!
Domain Driven Design
I don't do DDD (at least not consciously), but understanding what a domain is reallyreally important once you need to talk to business people (not something I like, but it's necessary to write the right code).
Neuromancer
"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel." is such a banger of a first line. Outdated, because "dead channel" won't make sense to younger kids, but I bet they'll get a kick out of learning about how TVs used to be.
Yes.
