Hi all. I'm looking for the best books out there on the subject of programming. I'm looking for those rare books that are pure greatness. The book that every programmer should've read. There may only be 1 or 2 such books for the subject of programming. For instance, when it comes to self help books, the only one you'll ever need was written in the 1930's, called "Think and Grow Rich". Any other self help book worth its salt will be based on this book, even if the author never mentions it.
The one for the stock market and investing in general, is called "Where are all the customer's Yachts". That one was written in 1940. Taught me all I'll ever need to know, and Warren Buffet said that the book is what is responsible for getting him into investing. Its excellent, and quite funny. I'm looking for the book on programming. The one everyone knows and loves. Generally these types of books are written so that someone fairly new to the subject would be able to follow along and understand.
So which books would you recommend? There have to be some great ones out there for computing and programming.
