Literature not for beginners?

Question

Books

Good afternoon, habra community, so I decided to ask who reads what.
I am engaged in php, and I like to read books, I wanted to ask who liked which books, who can advise what.
I would like analogues of books like: McConnell's Perfect Code, Fowler's Enterprise Application Templates and patterns from the Gang of Four.
In general, besides McConnell and Fowler, I know very little quality writers, I would like to fill this gap.

Answer 1

Donald Knuth and all his works

Answer 2

Read Tanenbaum - "Operating Systems" and "Distributed Systems". This is not directly related to PHP, but will give you fundamental knowledge of architecture. There is also Matt Zandstra's book PHP: Objects, Patterns, and Programming Techniques.

Answer 3

Good post about such books: avva.livejournal.com/2315779.html

Answer 4

Robert Martin "Clean Code"
Volume 3 of Knuth - where sorting and searching
Meszáros xUnit Test Patterns. Refactoring the code of tests
, well, it still won’t interfere with the overall development:
Brooks “The Mythical Man-Month”
Demarco “The Human Factor”
Cooper “Psychiatric Hospital in the Hands of Patients”

Answer 5

On different topics, but if you are interested (what came to mind)
Cormen. Algorithms. Construction and analysis (Bible of algorithmists!!!)
Warren, Hacker's Delight (in Russian, in my opinion, it is called Algorithmic tricks for programmers).
Olifer, Olifer 1. Network operating systems, 2. Computer networks
All books are quite "academic" and are recommended at universities (probably more than in work).
You can also read Knuth's search methods, long arithmetic and derived algorithms there.

Answer 6

Grady Booch “Object-Oriented Analysis and Design”
There are examples in C ++ and Object Pascal, but the work is fundamental, it will be useful for OOP

Answer 7

I love books from the Head First series for being non-academic, in my head the academic presentation fits an order of magnitude worse. On the subject, you can advise Eric Freeman "Design Patterns" (translated and recently published in Russian, publishing house Peter), in English there is another good "Object oriented analysis and design: a brain-friendly guide". If you are hearing about Head First for the first time, take a look here first . Some, you know, such a presentation of material is annoying :-)
