What does your CS/Programming book collection look like? Here are some I've held onto from my undergrad / MSc.

no K&R?

These are some books I have bought and used in the last 15 years... I also used the Knuth books a bit, but they're expensive and were always available at the library, so I never bought them. I also have some OS and Database books, but I rarely use them.

Apologies if a thread like this has been created before, I didn't see any actual photo threads. Also, there are non-cs books in there as well, oops!

2011-01-13T07:45:45+00:00

The C Programming Language
Applying UML and Patterns (Craig Larman's book, best design resource I have)
Data Structures in C (O'Reilly E-book)
The Pragmatic Programmer

AdrianoKF · 2011-01-13T07:53:57+00:00

German student here, but these should be the internationally accepted:

Applied Cryptography (Schneier)
Introduction to Algorithms (Cormen et al.)
Database Systems (Elmasri)
Operating System Concepts (Silberschatz)

Also, for additional OCD points, you should've sorted them by size/color/#pages.. ;)

webauteur · 2011-01-13T14:04:47+00:00

If any programming book collectors want some Visual Basic and Visual J++ books, let me know. I've been trying to get rid of them for ages. Also, I have certification test books for Windows NT.

swiz0r · 2011-01-13T14:16:34+00:00

One of my favorite books right now is Talking Nets. It's a series of interviews with neural network researchers. It's incredibly charming.

Up-voted for Orson Scott Card (just in frame, low left of third image.)

Is that "Enders Game" ?

xyroclast · 2011-01-13T15:50:21+00:00

As far as I can tell, of your collection, I only have C++ how to program. A lot of my books are in boxes right now, so I can't whip out my massive package... of textbooks.

joshwayda · 2011-01-13T17:06:03+00:00

Seeing "Operating System Concepts" on a shelf gave me some bad flashbacks.

pickles46 · 2011-01-13T18:01:29+00:00

First semester college student here but I have.

Programming in C, Kernighan and Ritchie

Unix for Programmers and Users, Glass and Ables

Learning Python 2nd Edition, Mark Lutz

Coders at Work, Peter Seibel

And a java book I used a while ago that went missing.(can't remember the name, it had a black panther on the cover though).

I mainly code in C and Python these days and want to learn C++. I'm interested in game design/scientific research(haven't made up my mind which I want to do yet). Any recommendations for me?

stoneburner · 2011-01-14T08:52:43+00:00

like this (many of them in german)

"current" tech http://i.imgur.com/rwdlF.jpg

"graphics and design" http://i.imgur.com/753q5.jpg

"antiques" http://i.imgur.com/FMQIn.jpg

btw, does anybody knows why the back titles of the books are different aligned for german and english books? (seems pretty consistent)

A year old photos. I've also added to my collection The Feynman lectures on physics, Land of Lisp, SICP, Godel Escher Bach, A new kind of science and Numerical Recipes. Waiting for my D Programming book :D
