Why is the book "The Practice of Programming" listed? #100

Why is the book Kernighan, B. and Pike, R.. 1999. The Practice of Programming listed? It's a well-regarded book, but I don't think it covers Fortran.

I vaguely recall the rationale (if there was any) was that the book is useful for Fortran programmers, even if it doesn't cover Fortran. I may be making that up. I'm fine with this book being listed or not.

certik commented 3 years ago

I would either not list it, or create a section "general programming books" and list it there.

gklimowicz commented 3 years ago

I wonder if someone was thinking of Kernighan and Plauger's book Software Tools, which used a structured version of Fortran called Ratfor. (This is a really old book, though, from 1976.)
