Programming Books

Let's get an actual thread going.

Post your favourite computer science, mathematics, and programming textbooks.

I'll start with a few that aren't posted all that much.

- The Elements of Computing Systems
Shows the implementation of basically everything, from stringing together logic gates all the way to a compiler, OS, VM, interpreter, etc.

- Types and Programming Languages + Advanced Topics in Types and Programming Languages
A good abstract treatise of type systems and programming language theory.

- Lisp in Small Pieces
Basically an entire book about the implementation of Scheme and Lisp interpreters and compilers.

- Artificial Intelligence: A Systems Approach
A good practical overview of most AI algorithms, covers search, NNs, unsupervised & probabilistic algorithms, genetic and evolutionary algorithms, etc. Example code in C.

You basically have your library organized. You only need to define your schema. E.g. you can use the directory structure to build s category table for your titles, another for piece's type (book vs magazine, etc.), file type, author, topic, branch, etc..

Honestly, draw out the schemas you want, and use SQLite to assign your rows and columns. I live in the philosophy of expansion and extensibility. Thus I always as many categories as I can imagine, and always leave a "Comment" and "Notes" section.

And because you are using SQLite, you can always mutate your scheme at any time.
