Programming Books

bpalmer on `#emacs`: “If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were standing on my shoulders.” — Hal Abelson

Books I have read and recommend:

Abelson, Sussman, and Sussman’s Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
Paul Graham’s On Lisp
Peter Norvig’s Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming: Case Studies in Common Lisp
Paul Graham’s ANSI Common Lisp
Eric Raymond’s The Art of Unix Programming, see 2004-05-31 Books for more links

Other books that might be of interest:

Modern Perl if you want to know more about Perl. This is a good introduction to the language.
The Common Lisp Cookbook shows how to do various things in a clear fashion without all the theoretical context.
Let Over Lambda if you want to know *a lot* more about Lisp. This is tough.
