To compensate for the lack of good academic institutions in the '90s, I became a good customer of the local bookstores:
- * **Compilers**, reading plenty of textbooks such as CompilersPrinciplesTechniquesAndTools,
- and many others.
+ * **Compilers** -- textbooks such as CompilersPrinciplesTechniquesAndTools and several others.
* **Algorithms** -- many, including classics such as DonaldKnuth's bible TheArtOfComputerProgramming,
- CambridgeUniversityPress's NumericalRecipes and NicholasWirth's ancient, but still
- brilliant, "Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs".
-
- * **Operating Systems** -- Too many to mention here, most of which quite
- theoretical and boring. Of course, my favorite will always be AdvancedProgrammingInTheUnixEnvironment.
-
- * **Networking** -- Several books, including TcpIpIllustrated, several RFCs and
- technical papers.
