We should compliment that list with this one about free programming books http://stackoverflow.com/questions/194812/list-of-freely-ava...

Added the gang of four under OOP. Do developers still read this, or has head first superseded it?

Then again, a major pitfall of Design Patterns is that everything starts to look like the patterns you already know, which essentially boxes in your design process. Apply the knowledge at your own peril.

Gang of four?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_Patterns_(book)

Commonly referred to as the Gang of Four (or GoF) book, due to the four authors: Gamma, Helm, Johnson and Vlissides.

I am currently reading it after seeing it quoted in multiple lists of "books to read".

I'm getting "permission denied" when going to the URL in the title. Where has the document gone?

Google Docs might be blocked at your place like it's blocked here in office.

I should have been more clear: I am able to access google docs in general, it's just this document that, after signing in, it's giving me "You need permission to access this item". I was able to access this document previously without signing in.

now its open.

I definitely recommend "The Algorithm Design Manual" by Steven Skiena.

Will see how this grows...
