Hi,
References related to software efficiency; ordered by my estimation
of their worth to you all.
The most engaging digestable overall discussion of programming.
Includes chapters on interfaces and performance.
.book{kernighan99,
author = "{Brian W. Kernighan and Rob Pike}",
title = "The Practice of Programming",
publisher = "Addison--Wesley",
address = "Reading, Mass.",
year = 1999 }
The classic treatise.
.book{bentley82,
author = "{Jon L. Bentley}",
title = "Writing Efficient Programs",
publisher = "Addison--Wesley",
address = "Reading, Mass.",
year = 1982 }
Simply great.
