Best Computer Books For The Smart

Posted by chrisd on Friday July 26, 2002 @01:38PM from the ask-slashdot-again dept.

You'll remember last week, I asked for recommendations of the Best Websites for developers. This was a -great- thread and in the story, I mentioned that I was planning on doing the same regarding books this week. So here it is. What do you, the slashdot reader consider seminal works? What would you consider great introductions to technical topics? If you are interested, check it out... As part of this I'm looking for books on C, C++, Perl, Python, PHP , System Administration, anything...you name. As before I have opinions on great books, but I want to see what you think. Also, what do people think is a great introductory book for people new to linux.

you're asking for book recommendations for the 'smart' - since smart people don't do things like ask for book recommendations on Slashdot, it's unlikely you'll be able to comprehend any of the answers you receive.

I actually enjoy perusing a thread like this. Try clicking the 'back' button (it's on the upper left of your browser) and see if you can find something more to your liking.
