- [ ] [Programming Pearls](http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Pearls-2nd-Jon-Bentley/dp/0201657880)
|
|
|
- The first couple of chapters present clever solutions to programming problems (some very old using data tape) but
|
|
|
that is just an intro. This a guidebook on program design and architecture, much like Code Complete, but much shorter.

|
|
+ - This is a great book for review of CS concepts, and a very quick read.
|
|
|
+ - Did not have as much Python code as I had hoped for, but has a great chapter on dynamic programming, so I worked through that and finally got the concept.

|
+ - The book was published in 2004, and is a bit outdated, but it's a terrific resource for understanding a computer.
|
