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.

Smalltalk di[u]e[/u]d when Scala was made. Well, really Scheme, but who is complaining⸮

Um:

Cunningham & Cunningham, Inc.
c2.com
A small consultancy specialized in object-oriented programming and pattern languages, located in Portland, OR.

It was relevant in the 1970s and 80s, until Scheme and Scala destroyed it to the ground.
