PAIP is easily one of my favourite programming books. It’s chapter after chapter of excellently presented programming. Each chapter takes you through a problem, a solution (typically multiple iterations and extensions) with detailed explanations of what’s happening (often with historical details). Also, it introduced me to many different tools I can use to solve programming problems.
