My Favourite, Robert Love is a great author. I love this book, he treats it the way i like it.. Lmao, specially when he explains about the death of a child process.. lmao.. something like treatingthe child like a human.. lmao that was funny to read.

also, on Process termination he says ” It is sad, but eventually processes must die…” hahaha

what i am reading for the moment:

I’m happy

It ranked among the first ‘recent’ tech books I borrowed from the very poor collection of computer-related books there and I remember it includes chapters devoted to usability, programming culture, code reuse,our persona (if I’m still good at remembering what it was really about) without going into gory and excessive details.

Other books I’d put to your list:
1. MIT Press – Introduction to Algorithms, 2nd Edition (the best to learn and even still learn from algorithm book of all)
2. The Mythical Man Month (Classic – otherwise don’t even think of obtaining your degree without having even heard of it. A must have for everyone joining the programming sphere)
3. Prentice Hall – Core Java (Both volumes since it’s replete with what you need to get started with the Java language).
