'A Good Read?: Useful references for further reading'
The sections below contain references for further reading on some of the topics covered in the Pragmatic Programming course.
Fortran
- T.M.R Ellis, I. R. Philips and T. M. Lahey. Fortran 90 Programming. Addison-Wesley. ISBN-10 0-201-54446-6
- I've found this book to be both readable and comprehensive.
C/C++
- B. W. Kernighan and D. M. Ritchie. The C Programming Language (2nd Edition). Prentice Hall, 1988. ISBN-13: 978-0131103627
- The C bible. I've never used anything else.
- S. B. Lippman. C++ Primer (3rd Edition). Addison Wesley, 1998. ISBN-13: 978-0201824704
- Well reviewed, but I've not read it.
- S. Meyers. Effective C++: 55 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs (3rd Edition). Addison-Wesley. 2005. ISBN-13: 978-0321334879
- Well reviewed, but I've not read it.
- E. Gamma, R. Helm, R. Johnson and J. Vlissides. Design patterns : elements of reusable object-oriented software. Addison Wesley. ISBN-13: 978-0201633610; A classic.
- O'Reilly
- Rarely produce a dud. The C++ and STL pocket references are handy.
Scientific & Numerical Programming
- S. Oliveira and D. Stewart. Writing Scientific Software: A Guide for Good Style. Cambridge University Press. 2006. ISBN-13 978-0-521-67595-6.
- This book also gives advice on how you can make your programs run quickly.
Version Control
- http://svnbook.red-bean.com
- Free to download and clearly describes all you need to know.
Build Systems
- http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual
- There are books available, but I've found the free GNU manual to be just fine.
