The Art of Computer Programming, Volumes 1-3 Donald E. Knuth, 1998 |

|
| Revised editions of this over 20 year-old classic on software algorithms. More volumes are promised, but Knuth has put his mind to many other things in the meantime. In addition to all the practical advice, the books convey an attitude in computer programming, which we can only hope will survive in the internet age, the alternative being the mediocre web software we see everywhere today. Hackers keep clear. | |||

|
| Learn good programming style. While most programmers think a lot about the way they write programs, they often hate the coding standards imposed on them. They want to be convinced before they adopt some way of implementing programs (and rightly so!). This book does that job splendidly. | |||

The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master Andrew Hunt, David Thomas, 1999 |
Look up this book at |
|
| Easy-to-digest book for better programming. If you find the serious volumes too heavy, this book will come in handy and provides valuable guidelines to improve programming style. It is good on the improvement of the attitude to quality programming as you go along, which is of course much more essential that the odd programming hint. | |||
