- rollulus 8y agoThat book is a must-read for anyone dealing with data.
- tw1010 8y agoThe simultaneity of your and mkandas89's comment is what I'd call a canonical example of spooky action at a distance.
- drej 8y agoToo bad I can't upvote this multiple times.
- mkandas89 8y agoIts a must read for anyone dealing with data
- pbowyer 8y agoIt's the best written computer-related book I've read. On a par with Friedl's "Mastering Regular Expressions". Very highly recommended.
- _jal 8y ago> On a par with Friedl's "Mastering Regular Expressions". That comparison sold me. You deserve a commission.
- pbowyer 8y agoThank you! Be warned, the O'Reilly print quality is miles apart between the two. Their print-on-demand text quality and the binding are real let-downs.
- _jal 8y agoThat's too bad. The MRE book was great - the special typography for zero-width indicators and whatnot was really great. Progress.
- sah2ed 8y agoCurrently reading the book and I agree with your recommendation, it's very well-written, perhaps written with an intuitive learner in mind.
- acidtrucks 8y agoThanks, I literally just came here to ask for book recommendations on this topic. Are there any other suggestions?
- commandlinefan 8y agoI know this sounds like a cliche at this point, but volume 3 of Donald Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" goes into more depth on the theory that underpins these algorithms than anything else I've ever seen/read/heard of (in fairness, I haven't read OP's suggestion yet, though).
- _nrvs 8y agoJust finished reading DDIA, can't recommend it enough! I learned a lot of new info in every single chapter even for topics I thought I had a firm grasp on. Great job Martin Kleppmann!
- kuwze 8y agoHe also published this awesome paper on CRDTs, "A Conflict-Free Replicated JSON Datatype". [0]: https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.03960 https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.03960
- polymathemagics 8y agoCompletely agree, fantastic book. Does anyone know of any similarly wonderful technical books?
- Joeri 8y agoThis is one of the best technology books I've ever read. I spent a few years diving into big data architecture. I thought I had a reasonably good handle on it, then I read this book. So many insights.
