+being a good customer of the local libraries:
 
  * **Compilers**, reading several textbooks such as CompilersPrinciplesTechniquesAndTools,
  and many others.
 
  * **Algorithms** -- many, including classics such as DonaldKnuth's bible TheArtOfComputerProgramming,
  CambridgeUniversityPress's NumericalRecipes and NicholasWirth's ancient, but still
-brillant, "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.
