. The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
City Travel Guides > Books > Computer Science
by: Nassim Nicholas Taleb
April 17, 2007
This is the book I drag around everywhere, you can only read a few pages at a time because you need to think while digesting. the author is very knowledgable - sometimes too knowledgable, but that's a good thing, because he has a lot to say, a different point of view, a chip on his shoulder, intelligence to burn, a worldview bought to american shores, and he is conflicted about the class system - shrugging his shoulders at the suits, but flinging out big names here and there. No matter, it is worth the price of the book, because he stimulates thought. A sure sign of a good teacher, as well as tossing out more than a few investment strategies and his well-concieved notions about our financial system.
Love Taleb and hate him. I look forward ... Read More:

. Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid
City Travel Guides > Books > Computer Science
by: Douglas R. Hofstadter
February 04, 1999
Godel, Escher and Bach, written by Douglas Hofstadter, while the title would suggest it is discussion of a mathematician, an artist, and a composer, is a complex examination of how human beings develop perception and meaning. More specifically, the book explores, through a series of dialogues and narrations, how symbols, thought and language are all intertwined and how reality is essentially a composition of overlapping meanings and perceptions. The book challenges the reader to observe the system of symbolic meanings around him or her objectively.

. Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship (Robert C. Martin Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Computer Science
by: Robert C. Martin
August 11, 2008
When you do code maintenance, you can really "love" or "hate" a person that you do not even know just by the code he or she has written. Messy code almost always goes hand in hand with lower productivity, lower motivation, and a higher number of bugs. In the first chapter, Robert C. Martin presents in a very instructive way, the opinion from very well-known personalities about what "clean code" is, and also suggests we apply the Boy Scout Rule (Leave the campground cleaner that you found it) to our code. The following chapters present practical advice about how to do this cleaning (or even better, how to avoid the mess in the first place).
The suggestions presented in the book (meaningful names, pertinence of comments, code formatting, etc) may sound very ... Read More:
