Books

[maxmechanic]

Books to potentially walk through a few chapters at a time?

[maxmechanic]

• Programming Elixir
• The Rust Programming Language
• Living Clojure

[aaylward]

• Algorithms
• Introduction to Algorithms
• Real World Ocaml

[aaylward]

oh also http://www.amazon.com/OpenGL-Programming-Guide-Official-Learning/dp/0321773039/

[caryc]

• Distributed systems for fun and profit
• Principles of Distributed Computing

[aaylward]

• zookeeper

[aaylward]

I could get down with living clojure

[maxmechanic]

What might be cool is alternating between language/framework and more general ideas. So maybe Living Clojure, then one of the two @caryc has suggested.

[aaylward]

:+1: sounds great. Maybe later we could try this or something like it

[aaylward]

• Algorithms on Strings, Trees and Sequences has really cool exercises
• Flexible Pattern Matching in Strings (I'm just starting chapter 2, and it's really a good time)

[aaylward]

Purely Functional Data Structures could also be fun

[aaylward]

There's also this lovely free internet book about Haskell

[aaylward]

AI Algorithms, Data Structures, and Idioms in Prolog, Lisp, and Java also looks really awesome. It's broken up into sections (one per language), and I'd be down for the Lisp section once we're all experts in clojure :)

[maxmechanic]

So for books should we have a new Issue here, or a repo with issues for discussion?

[aaylward]

issue per book? or repo per book and issue per chapter?

[maxmechanic]

repo/book + issue/chapter seems reasonable. @caryc?

[caryc]

Sounds good, repo pre book, issue per chapter.

[aaylward]

This free awesome thing seems awesome too

Maybe Haskell If Hemingway Wrote Javascript
