Peter Norvig's Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming. The most awesome programming book ever (imho). To quote Darius Bacon [1] "It's not just that Norvig is smart; he's specifically skilled at writing really good code, apparently because that's something he cared about and worked on. .. Norvig's book _Paradigms of AI Programming_ has 900+ pages presenting code as instructive as that Sudoku solver; I've never seen a better collection. http://norvig.com/paip.html http://norvig.com/paip.html " [1] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=863660 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=863660
