Just jump in. When you find a subject that's beyond you, you'll know what you need to learn. It's a life-long pursuit. You cannot possibly be prepared enough. You'll always need to learn yet more. | |

| May 3, 2011 at 15:27 | comment | added | Steven A. Lowe | It's the book programmers are mostly likely to plan on reading someday. | |
| May 3, 2011 at 14:43 | comment | added | S.Lott | @Walter: I don't think I agree. I don't think it needs any expansion. The book is so toweringly important and so central to computing that I don't feel it needs explanation. | |
| May 3, 2011 at 14:40 | comment | added | Walter | You should include that in your answer. I have read it, but anyone who hasn't will get NO sense of why they should even look into your suggestion. | |
| May 3, 2011 at 14:38 | comment | added | S.Lott | @Walter: What makes it so good? It is definitive, complete and tough on folks who don't have a lot of advanced math. You should look at it some time. | |
| May 3, 2011 at 14:31 | comment | added | Walter | Why? What makes it so good? Please expand your answer. | |
| May 3, 2011 at 14:23 | comment | added | Kit Sunde | I certainly gave up and decided I needed to wait until my university gave me a discrete math course. :D | |
