Here are some links I keep mostly for myself. Most of them are really good reads

Online Books and Reference Sites

• Philip and Alex's Guide to Web Publishing by Philip Greenspun. Maybe the best book about the web. The author is very sincere and not afraid to express his particular opinions. He's also very funny (in a geeky way).

  There are also other two books by the same author in the same website. Namely, SQL for Web Nerds, and Tcl for Web Nerds which are also very good.

• Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs by Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman with Julie Sussman. This is THE book for learning to program. It covers all the important paradigms and has you writing an interpreter for Scheme and a register-machine emulator at the end.

• The Hacker's Diet: How to Lose Weight and Hair through Stress and Poor Nutrition by John Walker. This is a serious book on weight management. It works. I've tried it.
• Networking on the Network by Phil Agre. A great essay about why it's not all about computers. It's about people.
• Review of Operating Systems. There are as many Operating Systems as Programming Languages. If all you've ever seen is Windows, check this page out.
• Operating System Concepts by Abraham Silberschatz, Peter Baer Galvin, and Greg Gagne. The is the book for learning about Operating System Concepts. There just aren't that many books that are up to the sixth edition and counting.
• The Operating System Resource Center. Useful for learning about the dirty details of OS's.
• HTML Tag Reference. I'm always forgetting what all the parameters to the tags are.

People's Home Pages
