Knuth, “The Art of Computer Programming”
- retrocryptid 4y agoAnd don't forget Knuth's "Literate Programming." I didn't agree with every stylistic decision Knuth made, but reading it led me to clarifing some of my own thoughts. Let me +1 the previous SICP (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs) and Mythical Man Month. I also like DeMarco's PeopleWare. And Loeliger's "Threaded Interpreted Languages." I bought a copy of Doug Kaye's "Loosely Coupled Systems" from bettereorldbooks.com and it looks like it was a library book that should never have been taken out of circulation. It discusses an important aspect of software design that gets little love in the mainstream. I also got a copy of Yourdon's "Structured Design," which was originally released just as OOP was getting big. But... it still contains numerous pearls of wisdom suitable for both OOP and Functional programmers.
