Sebesta Addison Wesley, 2005 Intro to programming languages This book is decent for what it is, and that is an introductory programming languages textbook. The background material on what makes languages different and how those types of languages function differently is pretty good. Once the book gets into the survey of the different languages, the ...             Computer Organization and Architecture27 reviews William Stallings Prentice Hall, 2002 Not a good book I followed this book in my undergraduate studies and what I remember very precisely is that I did not like it. William Stallings's way of writing is always dry, i.e., reader does not feel it interesting to read. This is by far the biggest negative aspect of this book. In addition, it is difficult ...             Classic Data Structures in Java5 reviews Timothy Budd Addison Wesley, 2000 Good book, broken code + Good book but broken code examples The author does a good job describing algorithms and tools to use. However, after downloading the code from his web site and compiling the source code, less than one half of it worked on a Windows 2000 box without modification + two class files can't be re-created because of missing source code ...             Introduction to the Design and Analysis of Algorithms (2nd Edition)8 reviews Anany V.

In general this is good book. It bridges the gaps between many computer science disciplines. Especially OS and programming language. It also touched a little bit on computer architecture and linking process. The text was written in a a very clear way. However, I do ...             C Programming Language (2nd Edition) (Prentice Hall Software)257 reviews Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis M.
