I really enjoyed reading Programming Pearls by John Bentley many years ago. (Not working in IT sadly)
I had no idea that's where Programming Pearls came from. I bought both books years ago (along with Dewdney's Tinkertoy Computer) and really enjoyed them. I need to dig them out for a re-read.
I really enjoyed Dewdney's "New Turing Omnibus", it is a collection of problems that can be solved computationally. It is a great gift for anyone wanting to solve problems with computers and new to computer science.
Sort by citations (https://dl.acm.org/action/doSearch?SeriesKey=cacm&sortBy=cit...) to see the most seminal ones.
Great idea.
I did that and found a paper I would rank highly: Hoare’s “An axiomatic basis for computer programming”[1].
I clicked through and saw that it was included in their 25th anniversary issue and that particular issue seems like an excellent place to start.[2]
It would also be cool to hear from HNers who have papers on there. I’m adding this just in case you aren’t comfortable including yourself on a top three list.
