Donald Knuth is legendary in the computer science world for writing a
series of must-have reference books called The Art of Computer
Programming. Part cookbook, part textbook, part encyclopedia, these books
are also considered by many to be technical and personal works of art.
Donald Knuth owns multiple copies of his The Art of Computer Programming
books translated into numerous languages. The ideas inside transcend
language, offering lessons on the essential grammar for constructing fast,
elegant programs.
