-=== Non-formal studies and self-teaching ===
+=== Reading List ===
 
-To compensate for the lack of good formal education, I became a good customer of the local libraries:
+My favorite books of computer science and software engineering:
 
- * **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.

+
+ * **Operating Systems** -- Too many to mention here, most of which were quite
+ theoretical and boring.  My favorite will always be [[http://www.apuebook.com/|Advanced Programming In The Unix Environment]] by Richard Stevens.
+ I also recommend [[http://catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/|The Art of Unix Programming]].
+
+ * **Networking** -- My favorite is the immortal [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP/IP_Illustrated | TCP/IP Illustrated]] trilogy.
 
  * **Programming Languages** -- All the obvious textbooks such as BjarneStroustrup's
  SeePlusPlusProgrammingLanguage, and many others like the old SeeProgrammingLanguage,
