#42Game Engine Architecture by Jason Gregory It's like a collection of all the game programming stuff they didn't teach me at school, nor at my non-game jobs. Whether you're writing an engine or just using one, I consider this book absolutely vital.
It looks like there are several versions of this book. Would you recommend the 3rd edition of this book, or could I get away with an older one and buy it used?

#47Image Processing: "Digital Image Processing", Gonzalez and Woods. Comprehensive coverage of principles, well written, practical w/ useful examples yet well grounded in signal processing and engineering principles. Complemented nicely by a version of the book rich in examples solved in MATLAB (co-author Steve Eddins).
By chance, do you know a good book for audio signal processing?

#48Perl cookbook by Nathan Torkington and Tom Christiansen. It taught me everything from Unix tricks to CGI to making my first website.
No fluff, just lots and lots of code useful practical code samples.

#49In functional programming: [0] The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs [1] The_Little_Schemer [2] Programming in Haskell - Graham Hutton [3] Types and Programming Languages-Benjamin C. Pierce --- PDFS [0]( https://github.com/allenleein/brains/blob/master/Zen-of-Func... ) [1]( https://github.com/allenleein/brains/blob/master/Zen-of-Func... ) [2]( https://github.com/allenleein/brains/blob/master/Zen-of-Fu…
I would also add "ML for the working programmer", which is, perhaps surprisingly, more about functional programming than the particularities of ML. In any case, it is a great book.
