For people familiar with this resource, do you have a top three list of articles to start with?
It would also be cool to hear from HNers who have papers on there. I’m adding this just in case you aren’t comfortable including yourself on a top three list.
- nusuth31416 3y agoI really enjoyed reading Programming Pearls by John Bentley many years ago. (Not working in IT sadly)
- criddell 3y agoI had no idea that's where Programming Pearls came from. I bought both books years ago (along with Dewdney's Tinkertoy Computer) and really enjoyed them. I need to dig them out for a re-read.
- sitkack 3y agoI really enjoyed Dewdney's "New Turing Omnibus", it is a collection of problems that can be solved computationally. It is a great gift for anyone wanting to solve problems with computers and new to computer science. https://archive.org/details/newturingomnibus0000dewd_q3p6 https://archive.org/details/newturingomnibus0000dewd_q3p6

- criddell 3y agoGreat idea. I did that and found a paper I would rank highly: Hoare’s “An axiomatic basis for computer programming”[1]. I clicked through and saw that it was included in their 25th anniversary issue and that particular issue seems like an excellent place to start.[2] [1]: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/357980.358001 https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/357980.358001 [2]: https://dl.acm.org/toc/cacm/1983/26/1 https://dl.acm.org/toc/cacm/1983/26/1
