Different professor (and no longer downloadable) Philosophy of Computer Science from buffalo.edu https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20912718 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20912718 (and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10388603 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10388603 )
The author of the Buffalo tome is https://cse.buffalo.edu/~rapaport/ https://cse.buffalo.edu/~rapaport/ which links to a number of other resources too.
> The table of contents alone (19 pages) is an extraordinarily good outline of what CS is, and what the major components and questions of it are.
> This looks awesome. It's a huge book though; this draft is 824 pages! Still, definitely looking forward to reading this... eventually.
- eimrine 4y agoAny ways to download that book which is no longer downloadable? Could you share some link or something helpful to find it?
- shagie 4y agoTossing the link for the pdf into the wayback machine will pull up earlier versions of the complete file.
