Every programmer needs a reference book of some sort. If it's just your manuals or a vast library of books on all aspects of programming, you find yourself going to it time and time again.

The problem is the incredible lack of support for computer-related books, especially programming-related books. Book stores rarely touch them, and if you're lucky enough to find a store that has one or two books, they will more than likely not have the book you are looking for. There are computer-only book stores around, but they usually cater towards the average user.

Thank God you can order books!

So that's why I made this list. With it, you should have a pretty hefty library (providing you can afford it) soon enough.

Formatting

I've split up the books into various categories (arranged alphabetically). The books are arranged alphabetically by author's last name, then title. The entries are listed in four lines: title, author, publisher and international standard book number (ISBN). If the information is unavailable, I've put '???' If you know what's supposed to go there, please contact me!

Where formatting must be altered, either it will be readily apparent (I hope) or I will mention it after the header.

Throughout the document will be hyperlinks to various sites, files, etc. I will try to provide links to publishers, web sites, FTP sites, files and anything else I can.

Submissions

You can submit entries to Sunir Shah at any of the following locations:

Minimum entries are title, author and ISBN, although the publisher would be nice too. You'll notice entries missing the ISBN in here already. That's simply because I've ripped them off the nets somewhere.

I would really appreciate any submissions you can make.

Understanding Object-Oriented Software Engineering
by Stefan Sigfried
Pub: IEEE Press
ISBN: 0-7803-1095-0
IEEE Press order No.: PP4507

• Note from the author: The book is a total rewrite of an earlier book published in Sweden late in 1993. It contains a very complete discussion of object-oriented concepts and is ideal for students that want not only to learn object-oriented basics but also wants to relate the new ideas to software engineering and to industrial usage of object-oriented technology. The book is also ideal for software professionals because the book builds on experiences gained from investigations done here in Sweden. (Adding ideas needed to get workable object-oriented software development and warning of practices that will not work out.)

  Some more information can be found on the IEEE web-page http://www.computer.org/cspress/catalog/rs00015.htm

WWW: http://sunir.org/

• Note from Sunir Shah:

  Ok, I know it's an obvious plug, but I spent a lot of time on this document, so at least you can hear me out!

  [Cheap commercial on]

  After being assaulted by images of Sunir, one can find the OFFICIAL homepage of The Programmers' Booklist, in complete hypertext form.

  If that isn't amazing enough, I also maintain the homepage of Synapsis Entertainment, my game development company.

  If you aren't stunned YET, I also am creating an artificial intelligence contest called WASTE -- Warfare by Artificial Strategic and Tactical Engines. WASTE's pages are also available from Asbestos.

  And of course, Chris Gerlinsky, my friend from Saskatchewan, has his pages linked from mine. :) [Cheap commercial off]

  Ok, you can go back to your perusal of this fine document!

WASTE - Warfare by Artificial Strategic and Tactical Engines
maintained by Sunir Shah
WWW: http://sunir.org/waste/waste.html

• WASTE is an artificial intelligence contest where two client AI modules duke it out over a virtual battlefield. Cheating (accessing information that a client shouldn't know) is expressly forbidden.

In the interest of giving credit where credit is due, I took a lot of the game, graphics related books and magazines from GAMFAQ.TXT (v. 1.3), written by Ben Sawyer. Later on, Ben Sawyer contributed even more books. Thanks, Ben for going above and beyond the call of duty!

I've also been taken references from DESIGN.154, maintained by Travis Casey. It's the FAQ file for rec.games.design. (Side Note: It appears Mr. Sawyer took some references from this FAQ as well, or vice versa. It's a small net after all. <G>!)

I've taken a lot of references out of J-Mag Guthrie's Resource List. As I understand it, J-Mag started reposting the list because I started posting this list in the International C Echo. So, thanks, J-Mag!

I've also taken (a pattern is emerging) books from Brian Hook's 3D Book List which can be found at http://www.wksoftware.com/publications/3dbooks.html. Thanks, Brian! Astute readers will notice that Brian has written a book which is listed here . . .

Hanns-J Grosse contributed about 60 books to the list. I appreciate it! By the way, way back in June (this is November. Has it been that long? Oi..) he wanted me to plug his page. Well, here it is: http://www.uclan.ac.uk/facs/destech/eleceng/staff/hjg01.htm

I'd also like to thank everyone who contributed to this file, whether they did it willingly or not. :) I scan the C_ECHO and the 80XXX echo for 'book' everyday. I get a few here and there.

Glen Miner really helped me out during the many months that I stopped updating this file. A round of applause for Glen!

I also thank Steve Furlong for referencing this list in the comp.ai.games FAQ.

PLEASE CONTRIBUTE MORE!!! I practically update this file every day I have free time.

Contact Information

I won't bother everyone with various ways people can contact my Internet e-mail address. I read a book once that had more than two pages of ways to interact with the Internet.

Legal Mumbo-Jumbo

I'm just listing books. I'm not promoting any particular book. Any side-information that I provide is just for interest's sake. If this file damages your system or yourself in anyway, I'm not liable, but expect me to laugh since it's just a hypertext file.

The most important thing: DON'T SUE ME!!
