TACP? The Art of C Programming? Tactical Air Control Party?
I am not hackeeish enough I think.
- khafra 18y agoMore often abbreviated TAOCP. But you're right; programmer culture recognizes acronyms like this and SICP, even if they fall under Mark Twain's classic definition: "Books that everyone wants to have read, but nobody wants to read." http://www.google.com/search?q=taocp+site%3Anews.ycombinator.com http://www.google.com/search?q=taocp+site%3Anews.ycombinator... is one good way to compile a list of references with similar cachet.
- Anon84 18y agoSorry, that should have been TAOCP, The Art Of Computer Programming. And yes, it is one of those books that everybody wishes they had read at some point (although not everybody wants to actually read it).
