Avinash Meetoo: Blog

In addition to the quality information found on the Internet, I also have a lot of books. Not all of them are reference quality material but they are all mine…

LibraryThing will allow me to buy better and better books. I’m thrilled!

I have books on:

Computer Programming Software Architecture Hardware, Networking and Parallel Processing Database and Artificial Intelligence Operating Systems (Mac OS X, Linux, etc.) The Web, HCI, Graphics and Multimedia Various other things I like

The word algorithm stems from the Latin version of al-Khwarizmi’s name.

In other words, Al-Khwarizmi is the grandfather of all computer scientists…
