Just coming here to give my usual thank you/plug to Allen B. Downey for all of his wonderfully written (and free!) books. Aside from The Little Book of Semaphores, here are a few of my favorites:

How To Think Like A (Functional) Programmer ("Think OCaml") - http://greenteapress.com/thinkocaml/index.html

Think Operating Sytems - http://greenteapress.com/thinkos/index.html

Think Bayes - http://greenteapress.com/wp/think-bayes/

Think Stats - http://greenteapress.com/thinkstats2/index.html

Also important is his section about how to help free books: http://greenteapress.com/easy.html



Thank you for these links. I have read semaphores book and I recommend it to others. Didn't know that there were other good titles from Downey. Planning on reading them all.


Think Bayes is the best probability book I've seen for people who know how to program. Definitely worth a read!


Ooh, more to add to my collection (and hopefully read!). Thank you very much!
