Hi, Jeff Brooks writes: /* "The Art of Computer Programming" are THE classic computer science books. My questions are, are these books still worth reading or are they outdated? The copy of volume 1 I found has a copyright date of 1973, so, should I just read them as a historical reference or is most of the technical content still applicable to today's programming methods? */ A friend said me that Knuth Books are a Treasure Wells. I agree with him, because I think that " we can change computers but not the mind of the art of computing" Belk -- ......................................
