Drupal 8 Development CookbookThe first choice is Drupal 8 Development Cookbook by Matt Glaman, which enjoys the best feedback from readersThe book is appropriate for web developers and site buildersIt contains the whole chapter for Drupal 8 module development, which substantially raises its value, because the book Drupal 8 Module Development has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances (as stated if you had tried to order it) and Drupalistas have to rely exclusively on this book if they try to learn about module development from books
