Ask HN: Best place to learn stuff I didn't learn getting CS degree

Self taught programmer and my boss said I need to know more programming theory - what are some good books to check out?


Try the very first wiki ever: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WelcomeVisitors

Also, aside from reading books I recommend reading (and using) well written source code. I learned more picking apart the Symfony2 framework source code that any PHP book. Adjust for whatever programming languages you use. Find a well-written project, tear it apart and figure out what makes it tick. Just like you did with things when you were a kid :-)


I bookmarked this on my Chrome. I guess I found it via HN.
