I am slightly disappointed by the list - for example C# threading is a book from 2003 and .NET has evolved a lot since then (Task, async, etc.). There are other, more recent books that represent current state of art in C#. Perhaps the reading list shouldnt state the year for which it is intended for?

It reminds me of the blog post: "A Complete Understanding is No Longer Possible" [ http://prog21.dadgum.com/129.html ]

I think we now have to settle for "a pretty good understanding of a lot of things, just never the things you immediately need."

Looks like C++ got a bit of an upgrade in the canon... The Programming Language Bjarne Stroustrup ISBN 9780321563842

Besides the update on the official book, Bjarne has written a new one that teaches how to write modern and secure C++, instead of using the unsafe C underpinnings.

Planning to switch from c to c++; I'm really exited to read this.

@commenter: The word switch doesn't have to rely on relevance between subjects it is referring to. It has more to do with the speed of changing the direction.

i suggest you phrase it 'planning to learn c++' - there's hardly any switching from C if you plan to write modern C++, because there's hardly any C in it.
