Customer Review: This book is famous, and when I told people 20 years my senior that I was in compilers and I was using the dragon book, they knew the book. There are probably some changes between editions between now and then, but the fundamentals of compiler design has changed little. And when it comes to be... more info
Customer Review: I used this book to teach myself Scheme. It used to be offered at MIT as 6.001 but unfortunately they removed it in favor of 6.01 Python. Scheme is very much the "Latin" of programming languages: it's not extremely useful but it teaches you how to approach programming and how to think about it.... more info
Customer Review: I began using Ant as part of my build process for Joomla! (CMS) development to save time on building, debugging, and deploying new Joomla extensions. While Ant and "Ant in Action" are geared toward helping a developer with a Java project it was also very useful for PHP web development. It contained... more info

The one thing that I didn't like with the book was the structure. The four last chapters contain the actual theory,... more info
Customer Review: Nutshell review - If you are only going to read one book in preparation for the CISSP exam then you must read this one. It is extensive and covers all the bases.
Customer Review: Programming Language Pragmatics 2nd Edition (PLP2e) is a fantastic book that covers a great deal of information. It starts with explaining lexing and parsing, and then goes into scope, target machine instructions, control flow, data structures, a number of paradigms, and building a runnable program.... more info

I'm a recent graduate B.Sc CS and used this book extensively for a month+ as to prepare for a c++ job interviews. Unfortunately I can't say I loved this book. I found the examples to be overcomplicated by irrelevant information and language to be ambiguous at the times. As an... more info
Customer Review: I'm not a big fan of GCC, and I don't think that opensource is the be all and end all. I'll try to be objective and not let my likes and dislikes colour this review. The book seems to have a fairly good coverage of the main languages that GCC supports (C, C++, Java, Fortran, Objective C and... more info
Customer Review: This book is a regurgitation of O'Reilly web material. This book had a real opportunity to discuss Ant internals or at least something that can't be found on tech sites or the software documentation. Project wikis will undoubtedly replace the need for tech books of this sort.
