some /g/ approved books
I'll start
whats so good about this one? Also i heard there were better ones out there
>>54032278
Just a classic I guess. Maybe it's good to know certain traits of a language from the source.
Not sure if /g/ approved but I'm contribootin.

Oops. Forgot pic.
>>54032204
Really ?!?
We got this thread just yesterday..
>>54032278
I've worked with it, it's really good.
It's step-by-step, intuitive and comprehensive.
Of course there are other good books as well.
>>54032364
can you name some?
>>54032355
alghorithms is a good one
>>54032355
What is "Gödel, Escher, Bach" doing in this collection..?!
It's meh.
>>54032204
<-- this is good. read it.
>>54032484
why is good tho?
Has anyone actually read those Knuth books? Are they worth reading?
>>54032518
It's an very interesting book, beccause it's a novel - about project management. The author has written serveral more scientific books about project management (i.e. "Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams") and knows what he is talking about. So you can get a lot of hard facts (methods) and soft facts (insights and experiences from everyday project management) in a way that is not difficult to read.
Not the be-all-end-all book to project management, but still good.
>>54032554
There are better books out there.

Ok, Stallman.

yeah no wonder why /g/ suck at it
>>54032739
why you talking about studying you retard
>>54032486

Both already happened and there is nothing funny about it.
>>54032554
They're good if you want to know ALL and i mean ALL about algorithms. They not only explain the algorithms but the story behind it and he also gives accurate "time complexities" (basically ignores big O using his assembly machine).
Btw you need to have a really good grasp on combinatorics and we willing to understand hard algorithms written in assembly, before diving into it.
>>54032739
Good point. I'm sure you're doing a lot better with Bucky's YouTube tutorials.

This book should be on the list as well. It's godlike.
When will idiots realize that you learn programming by doing not reading
>>54032988
Hitler dubs speak the truth.
Learn basic syntax, find a cheat sheet and do small projects.

Sure thing, champ. You make a valid point.

Who else had to read this awful garbage in school.
>>54033027
>doesn't understand that combining learning mediums retains more information
Where did you read this?
>doesn't understand that one can read and then practice
You can also slap your face a thousand times and then practice doesn't mean slapping yourself is actually useful
>probably a retarded millennial with no understanding of books and quality material
I read plenty of non-programming books and yeah I'm a millennial like nearly everybody else on this site you included
>got his degree from YouTube videos
I got my degree from an accredited university

Yeah, you didn't go to university. Stop this charade because you're really embarrassing yourself.
>slap your face a thousand times
What kind of retarded comparison is that? How old are you? How can you claim to have gone to an accredited university when you're not even old enough to post on this board?

Your reading comprehension sucks. You should read better books to fix that.
>>54033173
Yeah okay fella.
Clearly whatever you're doing is working. I mean, you don't have to post in threads to validate it. That's not what you're doing, right? Yeah okay fella, good stuff. Toodles.

Provided you put in the mental effort it requires, it will twist, bend and turn your brain inside out numerous times, give you a bunch of englightenement moments, then leave you a much better programmer even if you were to never use a functional language again.
Anybody tried reading this?
I started reading it because I was enjoying the mathematics, but it suddenly shifts into MIX which I just can't understand.
Granted I don't know anything about assembly nor machine language, but can undergrads be expected to?

Is this list yours? Comments on the mythical man-month?
>>54033570
It isn't my list. Saved the picture from here. I do own a few of the books, and will read a few more in between courses.

>When will idiots realize that you learn programming by doing not reading
You can't learn programming by the book, you have to actually do it.
But to get GOOD at programming, you need to read books. Just get "Code Complete" and read a chapter every day. It will definately enhace your coding in many differnt ways.

I'm currently reading Introduction to algorithms by cormen for my CS class.
although sometimes it gets quite difficult to understand (Maybe because i'm reading it in english and not in my own language, idk).
Anyway can someone suggest me an easier book to read on the topic too?
Planning to read both of them.
>>54033598
The reasoning of starting this thread had nothing to do with learning how to .... just for the people who like to read books, it doesn't even have to be /g/ related. let's say a book that introduces a way of thinking that would be helpful in programming
>>54032576

Do you know any other novels like The Deadline?

not him but:
Pointers on C
C Programming: A Modern Approach
>>54036243
A Modern Approach is good. I use it for extra study with C Primer Plus.
Cinderella book
>>54033632
Believe it or not, but Wikipedia is a very good source for fundamentals of programming. They have decent explanations and often also links for further reading.
>>54034590
The same author has wrote some other books who are fictional as well as scientifical, but I don't know if they are good.
