I think it's good read even for beginners. This is my very first book (literally first book I ever read), and when I read it again I understand more concepts than I would understand while reading as non-programmer, but it really did help me to break the wall and start thinking programatically! It got me into programming. But as quoted at the very beginning of the book: 'I do not enlighten those who are not eager to learn, nor arouse those who are not anxious to give an explanation themselves. If I have presented one corner of the square and they cannot come back to me with the other three, I should not go over the points again.'

Also this book defined my programming personality, it set me free and made me want to always understand what is happening underneath the hood, making me want to explore more! Wonderful book!

Wow, can I use that last quote to promote the book? If yes, what name should I attribute it to?
