The programming meme books that you must have on your shelf (reading optional) are:
- The C Programming Language (original C book)
- The Art of Computer Programming (TAOCP)
- Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP)
- Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools (Dragon book)
- Don't Make Me Think (design)
- Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
- astrange 4y agoThe Dragon Book is a bad compiler book. Don’t recommend it just because it has a cool name. Grune’s Parsing Techniques and Morgan’s Building an Optimizing Compiler are okay.
- HillRat 4y agoI'd also recommend (inter alia -- there's a lot of great works out there!) Friedman et al.'s Schemer books, Petzold's "Code" and "The Annotated Turing," McConnell's "Code Complete," Pierce's "Types and Programming Languages," and Warren's "Hacker's Delight."
