Title:	The Cluetrain Manifesto: The End of Business as Usual
Authors:	Christopher Locke, Rick Levine, Doc Searls, David Weinberger
Pub:	Perseus Books (2000)
ISBN:	0738202444
One of the rare business books which make genuine sense. The premise is that the web has allowed markets and companies to discuss within themselves and cut through the hype and lies of marketing. As a result, companies are having to open themselves up and converse with their customers direct or lose out - seeing a shift from the 'us and them' view that has arrived in the mass production era, to one of the traditional bazaar. It doesn't promise answers, but does make you sit up and realise a few things - important reading for the KOSH community: developers and users alike. John Chandler

Otherwise known as 'The Dragon Book' I was surprised this book was not on the list already, as anyone who has an interest in compilers must surely have heard of it. I bought this book a while ago, though haven't read much at all, I think I got to about page 38 a few times, and decided I needed an easier introduction to Compilers. Anyway it's still regarded as a landmark text on the subject. Shane O'Neill

Title:	Introduction to Compiler Construction
Author:	Thomas W. Parsons
Pub:	W H Freeman (1993)
ISBN:	0716782618
This is what I turned to after having a look at The Dragon Book. I found this easier to get into, as it aims for more clear explanations and not as much depth. The biggest complaint I have with this book is with the exercises, it gives exercises at the end of each chapter but fails to give any answers, so you can be left wondering if you have actually answered them correctly. Due to various reasons I've only read up on Lexical Analysis at the moment, which I think I've gained a somewhat reasonable understanding of with this book. Oh, if you don't know anything about trees, I'd advise you to read up on them first if you plan on coming near this subject. Shane O'Neill

Title:	Modern Compiler Implementation in C

Pub:	Addison-Wesley (1990)
ISBN:	0201121107 (unavailable on Amazon)
(About the C edition...)
This book is fantastic for anyone wanting deeper understanding/information on all aspects of Computer Graphics, from 2D and 3D primitives, raytracing, radiosity rendering, to user interface methodologies. (look & feel, not I/O) It covers many different topics, including underlying hardware concepts, interface techniques, UI design considerations, rendering techniques, image processing, and others. This edition (I have the 1st edition) includes considerable example code in C to accompany many subjects. Joel NewKirk
(About the Pascal edition...)
The bible of computer graphics. I bought this for the computer graphics module at university, and built a simple raytracing system as part of my final year work using this book almost exclusively. The book covers pretty much everything you need to know about 2D and 3D graphics, user interfaces, image processing, hardware and software, and advanced topics - all building from the ground up. Everything is illustrated with plenty of source code and diagrams. Also includes a handy crash course on most of the maths involved. John Chandler

Pub:	Bantam Spectra (1993)
ISBN:	0553562614
One of the most enjoyable books ever written, IMHO. This is cyberpunk fiction for the programmer - unlike Gibson, Neal Stephenson knows his hacker lore. Funny and intelligent, with a great story which doesn't take itself too seriously - plus some of the best visions of technology in the near future, which is why it's on the list... John Chandler

Authors:	P.J. Gabrini, B.L. Kurtz
Pub:	D.C.Heath (1992)
ISBN:	0669123048 (Out of Stock)
Although probably not the best textbook ever written on the subject of algorithms, it did provide a very useful book during my first year at university - primarily as a refresher to some topics, and an introduction to others. While the source code is in Modula-2, a quick quide is provided and everything should be recognisable to programmers of Pascal, C, etc. Background knowledge requirements are minimal as this is really a text for the novice programmer. Subjects are broken down into theory and practice, rounded off with a fully worked example to illustrate the subject in-depth. Covers topics such as abstract data types, searching/sorting, algorithm analysis, arrays, lists, trees, stacks/queues, hashes, strings and even graphs and sets. Examples included on a floppy disk (what, no CD-ROM??? *grin*). John Chandler

Title:	Introduction to Functional Programming
Authors:	Richard Bird, Philip Wadler
Pub:	Prentice-Hall (1988)
ISBN:	0134841972 (out of print)
A slightly odd text. I came across it in the contest of learning the functional programming language Miranda (sorry, I don't know of any URLs you could look up though I think it's run by Canterbury University so try http://www.cant.ac.uk/ ?) and, while it's useable for that, it's teaching functional programming as an abstract concept rather than teaching any one language. It's very close to Miranda, but not quite identical (though an appendix on Miranda is supplied).
My feelings here are always going to be coloured by a strong dislike for Miranda, but it's probably pretty good if you want to learn about a new programming paradigm and not just stick with imperative languages forever. I'm no fan, but it's worth knowing about it! Greg

Title:	Applied Operating System Concepts
Authors:	A. Silberschatz, P. Galvin, G. Gagne
Pub:	Wiley (2000)
ISBN:	0471365084
Essentially a modified version of the "Operating Systems Concepts" book, with the emphasis on practical work. Examples are given in Java, an unusual choice for OS development, but the principles can be applied in any implementation language. The highlight for me is a selection of case studies on the design, implementation and history of three major operating systems: UNIX (4.3 BSD), Linux and Windows NT. A useful complement to Tanenbaum's operating system book. John Chandler

Title:	Beginning Linux Programming (2nd Edition)
Authors:	R. Stones, N. Matthew
Pub:	Wrox Press (1999)
ISBN:	1861002971
Perhaps not a book directly relevant to KOSH, except hosted on a UNIX OS, but still a good title to take a look at. This book is serving as a refresher to my UNIX hacking days at university. It's certainly a thick book and certainly provides an equally broad overview of the languages, libraries, APIs and technologies involved in Linux and UNIX in general. Shell programming to Gnome and X11, Tcl to Curses, Perl to POSIX threads, debugging tools and development environments. As recommended by Slashdot.org, which can't be bad. :-) John Chandler

Nice book. No-one seems quite sure why there's cartoon dinosaurs on the cover, but never mind :) Gives plenty of examples, covers more topics than I've felt the need to look at and gives detailed case studies of Berkeley 4.3BSD, Linux and Windows NT. Mach, MS-DOS, Solaris 2, Windows, OS/2, MacOS, VMS and TOPS-20 are all discussed as well.

Title:	Operating Systems Design and Implementation (2nd Edition)
Authors:	A.S. Tanenbaum, A.S. Woodhull
Pub:	Prentice-Hall (1997)
ISBN:	0136386776
The book that started off Linus Torvalds. Tanenbaum's book is an excellent introduction to OS development, easy to read with good examples and a CD-ROM packed with the binaries and source code to a complete UNIX clone called MINIX. Good coverage is given to the history behind operating systems, processes, I/O, memory management and file systems supported with practical reference to the MINIX source. Comes with an excellent bibliography too. John Chandler

Title:	POSIX Programmer's Guide
Author:	Donald Lewine
Pub:	O'Reilly (1991)
ISBN:	0937175730
Quite a useful book to have around if you write, or plan to write, code which conforms to the POSIX cross-platform API. Half the book is a reference manual for the POSIX C libraries, and the other half provides chapters on introducing POSIX and getting the most out of a selection of important subjects such as files, processes, IO, ANSI C & POSIX, and portability issues.

I received this book when I requested information from QNX. It is a very good overview of how QNX functions, how its microkernel is organized, messaging, filesystem, process management, scheduling, networking, etc. No ISBN or anything, it is availalbe (AFAIK) only direct form QNX. It was free, btw, along with the 1.44 web demo disk, Photon MicroGUI info, and much more. I 'applied' online for an information package, and I sure got it! Probably the most useful 150-page reference I've seen. The cover letter says, in part, "Many thanks for your interest in the QNX In-Hand Toolkit and for taking the time to fill out our questionnaire. In addition to what you requested, we've included information on the QNX realtime OS, the Photon microGUI, and so on." Joel NewKirk

Not really my cup of tea. Like it says, it's for experienced programmers not beginners, but I can't see many experienced programmers using it seriously. It's only 376 pages long and I quickly found it wanting as a reference text and needed to look elsewhere. It's probably OK for getting you introduced to the language, but I had a two-term course to do that for me, and this book added little to that. Worth noting that it only covers versions 1 and 2, though a later edition may be available by now, I haven't checked. Greg Webb

Absolutely huge, packed with well explained example programs which are all on CD for reference, both as source and binary. Seriously, it's brilliant. Greg

Title:	Prolog Programming for Artificial Intelligence (2nd Edition)
Author:	Ivan Bratko

Excellent introduction to the Prolog language, if obviously a text book for students. Clear and concise, you don't need any programming experience - in fact, with Prolog you're almost recommended NOT to have prior experience of any procedural language. Worth a look for inspiration on task-oriented and intelligent methods of programming. John Chandler

Title:	Tcl and the Tk Toolkit
Author:	J.K. Ousterhout
Pub:	Addison-Wesley (1994)
ISBN:	020163337X
Tcl (Tool Command Language) is a scripting language originally designed to be embedded into applications to provide scripting services. Tk (Toolkit) is a GUI control and development language offshoot of Tcl that can be used to write GUIs quickly and easily. The book is written by Tcl's creator, and gives a comprehensive overview of this simple, yet powerful, language. The book is quite expensive, and not particularly well illustrated, but the content makes up for this - it's broken down into useful areas, hits the appropriate level of technical detail for a given topic, and can be easily used as a reference book. Particular emphasis is given on Tcl's embeddable nature, with lots about adding Tcl and Tk to applications written in C. John Chandler

This guy is extremely funny on his audio tapes, yet his message is clear and brutally honest (as well as obvious) - management of people doesn't work, management of processes does. Told as a story, this is a guide to reassessing your personal goals and management - it doesn't provide answers, but gives a useful idea of the things you need to be looking for. Nowhere near as powerful and light-hearted as his audio tapes, but still interesting reading. John Chandler

Title:	Extreme Programming Explained: Embrace Change
Author:	Kent Beck
Pub:	Addison-Wesley (1999)

Kent Beck's eXtreme Programming eXplained provides an intriguing high-level overview of the author's Extreme Programming (XP) software development methodology. Written for IS managers, project leaders, or programmers, this guide provides a glimpse at the principles behind XP and its potential advantages for small- to mid-size software development teams. Aaron Digulla
Having worked in an XP environment, I can safely say this book is absolutely excellent. XP provides a high-quality development cycle which benefits everyone from developers, to managers to customers and users. This book is the "manifesto", with only the basics of applying the XP process - the later titles offer more advanced information, should you need it. John Chandler

Highly readable book that acknowledges software development problems are mainly due to people than technology. Covers information on teams, management, office environment, distractions, personality clashes, and the advantages of sabotage in the workplace. Strongly recommended, deeply obvious except to most managers. John Chandler

Some source code examples are provided in ADA, but these should be understood by anyone with even basic knowledge of a high-level language like C or Pascal. (A quick guide to ADA is provided, however). Topics are too numerous to mention, but the book splits itself into five parts covering Specification, Design, Programming Techniques & Tools, Validation, and Management. John Chandler

It is an excellent step by step guide to building web pages, and is written by someone from a pro-Mac, neutral-MS background which means it doesn't dwell heavily on IE, Windows and other issues, but talks about other platforms as well. Excellent read and very easy as quickref as well. Bridge Deady
