Not a single useful book – only tons of the religious useless OOP and patterns blah-blah-blah. Do you really think everyone “should” read them?!? TAoCP and SICP are gazillions of times more useful for any programmer.

Really good list! I have many of these next to me. For C++ programmers, I would also add Josuttis’ “The C++ Standard Library”

Thanks. It’s good to have a list like this, and it is not language-specific.

Amazed no K&R. I think every programmer should start with the classics

Time to hit the books. I really need to dig in and look at website development and programming differently.

I personally hate Head First’s approach at explaining things, but from what I’ve heard from others it seems about half the people like it at first glance, and another quarter can get used to it. I just don’t fall in either of those groups.

The only book a real programmer needs is Kernighan and Ritchie’s The C Programming Language.

Nice collection. I own the last three. Will definitely look for others too.
