- ajfjrbfbf 6y agoThe Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles

- eerikkivistik 6y agoI really enjoyed "Land of Lisp". I don't code in Lisp for work, nor do I prefer it as a language, but it has some really deep ideas that are useful regardless of what you build and what tools you use.
- bear8642 6y agoFound Kernighan and Plauger's Elements of Programming Style useful - interesting to see how many of their comments on Fortran and PL/I code still remain very valid problems. Their further book Software Tools in Pascal I found inspiring (along with SICP) as they show how you can build very powerful and useful tools from small modules slotted together - SICP showed me this in the extreme with chapter 2 ending with an implementation of a full numeric tower
- nalekberov 6y agoI would bet on "structure and interpretation of computer programs". You can read it online: https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/sicp/full-text/book/book.html https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/sicp/full-text/... Oh and "The Art of Computer Programming" series by Donald Knuth
