There's also a green book, on program design. Still have all three, mostly because of an inability to throw books away. They were so clear, as software documentation was before everyone created hyperlinked docs.
Surprisingly though, they came in handy somewhat recently (2017?) when I was tasked with re-writing some legacy publication software. A lot was boilerplate, but buried in the .ps output were some answers that no one could find anywhere else.
- mmcgaha 5y agoAnyone interested in learning postscript should also consider Glenn Reid's Thinking in PostScript. I think it is a better introduction than the blue book. Reid is also listed on the title page as the author of the green book.
- DonHopkins 5y agoGlenn Reid's Green Book is to PostScript as Leo Brodie's Thinking Forth is to FORTH! Both classic excellent books on how to think like a native in the language. http://thinking-forth.sourceforge.net/ http://thinking-forth.sourceforge.net/
