I read CPT&T, and applied it at work.

the c book and the data structure crap posted all the time in dpt

my apologies rare /g/ user.
my experience with /g/ users is a young kid who knows one language and thinks its enough to get a job without an education

Learning C from the C book now.

I think it's the only Book i have thats written in Times New Roman on a Computer
>>
>>60289684
Introduction to algorithms. Seriously fuck this book though. The proofs make no sense theres better ones online anyway

>>60289684

I've only read the first volume of this book.

"Introduction" is exactly what the book is not.
The book is written in a way that sets the reader up for failure.
The book does not provide a clear way to translate the pseudo code into real code, especially for beginners, this creates needless confusion. The book does not provide many visuals to assist the reader in understanding the algorithm, instead they provide mathematical notation.

I would only recommend the book to a person that has already done an advanced algorithms class, only as a reference.

I feel that people who recommend this book are trying to help, they're trying to scare people away using lisps horrible syntax

LISP has no syntax
>>
>>60290075

But Scheme has almost no syntax and it's quite refreshing to learn a non-"c style" language.

Also SICP is very well written, I don't know how someone could possibly stop after the first three lessons, when the party starts to get funky..

>>60289706
>>60289717

Literally thousands of programmers have learned C with K&R and I think it's the best intro book for it.

Also CLRS is a great book if you want solid fundamentals about data structures.
>>
>>60289684
Fuck why won't you recommend books to read instead? If we spent our time talking about books that shouldn't be read, we'll die of old age.

SICP goes too slow

Sedgewick is better

Have you ever actually tried reading that shit though? It's drier than your gran's cunt.
