back & books

Unread post by liknites » Thu Oct 01, 2015 5:50 am

I went on a long vacation. Now I'm working through a digital stack of programming and computer books. What are your favorites or recommendations?

This seems a good place to start:

Welcome back home!

I guess you get a lot of different recommendations here, but one will be in everyone's list:

Kernighan/Ritchie: The C Programming Language http://www.iups.org/media/meeting_minutes/C.pdf

Also see http://www.linuxbbq.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=903 and http://www.linuxbbq.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1022

I have quite a bunch of computer-related PDFs, let me know what you are interested in and I'll post links to my dropbox :)

The C Programming Language is a must-read. Highly recommended.

The Art Of Unix Programming is worth a read: http://catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/

The Wizard Book will take you on the other side: https://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html
