My take on some which I think should be atleast read once:
1) The unix programming environment
2) The design of the unix operating system
3) The Pragmatic Programmer
4) Programming Pearls
5) Computer Systems: A Programmers Prespective
6) K & R C
7) The art of Unix Programming.
PS: I admit my bias towards systems.
- heinrichhartman 8y agoI like (1) The unix programming environment It's very old and underrated. Many people have problems getting started with the command line and basic UNIX tools. This is _THE_ place to learn about this.
- travmatt 8y agoI’m halfway through the 5 and its an amazing resource.
- jamestimmins 8y agoReally phenomenal textbook. Maybe the only one I've read (almost) all of the way through.
- charlysl 8y ago"The unix programming environment" I read this in like a week at one of my first jobs. I learned so much that in a few days my status in the team radically changed and became the go to person when people's scripts didn't work; word spread and soon I had people from other teams seeking help with their scripts too. No one else read the book though AFIK ... What I really liked about this book at the time: - it explains the few key concepts extremelly well - the exercises were truly outstanding, really testing your understanding of subtleties of above concepts One for the ages.
