- jey 16y agoAgreed. CLRS > TAOCP.
- weaksauce 16y agoyeah for a cs degree equivalent CLRS >> TAOCP as TAOCP is more of a reference manual on algorithms whereas CLRS is a new way to think about writing programs. Both have their place in your bookshelf though.
- silentbicycle 16y agoYes, and apparently CLRS's place on your bookshelf is shifted to the right of TAOCP. :) Don't forget Okasaki's _Purely Functional Data Structures_, though. CLRS's coverage of persistent data structures is pretty weak.
- weaksauce 16y agoInteresting. I hadn't heard of that one. Is the book much better than the thesis that he did?
- silentbicycle 16y agoThe book expands on his thesis. I'd highly recommend it, especially if you found his thesis interesting.
- ynniv 16y agoNo list of books is going to substitute for years of interactive study, but if there is going to be a list, CLRS should be (high) on it. You might not need it to write a Rails app in 21 days, but you'll be a more enlightened programmer if you do.
