The list:

  1. Smalltalk Best Practice Patterns by Kent Beck

  2. Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) by Gerald Jay Sussman and Hal Abelson

  3. Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming by Peter Norvig

  4. Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering by Robert L. Glass

  5. Thinking Forth by Leo Brodie

  6. The Nature of Code: Simulating Natural Systems with Processing by Daniel Shiffman
