: Re: Where can I find good writers in a specific field for a particular English dialect? On which website can I find good authors in a specific field? For example I want to know good British authors

Unix for Users is apparently very readable and British English, one of the writers lectured at Leeds University (though it's quite old).
www.amazon.co.uk/Unix-Users-Computer-Science-Texts/dp/063202416X/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524834308&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=unix+for+users+roger+boyle
As far as C is concerned, though the writers are American and Canadian, this is the go-to book and very readable:
www.amazon.co.uk/C-Programming-Language-2nd/dp/0131103628/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524833099&sr=8-1&keywords=kernighan+and+ritchie
I pushed back and asked again for British English, but it seems it's the bible for C.

And in no way to be patronising, the Dummies books for all your needs have come highly recommended and I would agree with this. I used them when I was in I.T. because they make no attempt to over-complicate a subject in order to appear clever. I imagine many of the authors are US/Canadian but the requirement to keep the writing straight-forward in the Dummies range should make them readable.

The other recommendation is to start your journey with Python on Raspberry Pi. Apparently a cheap platform that's easy to learn and get code working. The consensus was that you'll learn far more from this than any book you pick up regardless of the language/author.
www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/python/README.md
Without knowing what stage you are at, I cannot say how helpful this information will be, but hopefully it will point you in the right direction. If I get further recommendations, I'll edit this answer.
