Does HN have any good picks from this list?
I see a lot of out of print books and books not about programming/software development, so if there are any that someone could recommend from this massive list I'd appreciate that.
- rmason 14y agoDefinitely 'the cathedral and the bazaar' which is imho a classic.
- koralatov 14y agoA lot of the stuff in it is out of date, but `Unix Text Processing' is a great read, if only to get a feel for the concepts and ideas.
- D9u 14y agoThat title caught my eye also. Not much difference between Unix text processing then, and now.
- progrock 14y agoThe Cathedral and the Bizaar and the Open Sources books, give a nice historical background. The Open Sources book have many nice essays from different contributors. I particulary enjoyed reading about the history of Unix transforming into a free OS, and Larry Wall's onion analogy.
