When I started out the books to read were clear: code complete, design patterns, refactoring etc.

Now it's not so obvious. Am I just out of the loop or are equivalent books no longer being written?

I just need a simple and cheap computer for my nephew (11yrs old) to learn to program on. It needs to run Scratch and python and that's it. Raspberry pi's are sold out everywhere in the UK. I need it now because he just has been given a programming book for Xmas (by me) and he's excited to start!
