Knuth’s long awaited book “The Art of Computer Programming: Volume 4″ near published? from Slashdot:”bookpool.com has posted an excerpt from Knuth’s long awaited The Art of Computer Programming: Volume 4. It is very short and discusses combinatorial searching. But when will it be published? Bookpool does not hazard a guess.”
I’ve read the exclusive excerpt in PDF from bookpool.com(unfortunetely blocked by Great Firewall), really curious how will K’s new book change programmer’s mind this time as the first 3 volumes did successfully before. Anyway, the trivial skills on data strctures has been popular for years. Can the pure programming art still catch their eyes?
