I'm not sure there -are- equally definitive books on the other topics listed; Tree algorithms one often has to hunt down in the literature. "Design Patterns" is considered a classic in OOP, but I don't think is definitive. I think NLP is in volume 5 of Knuth's Art of Computer Programming. (*grin*... it's been stuck at three volumes for decades now.) Memory management and database design tend in my experience at least to be research topics one has to go to the literature for. You might want to find the computer science library at the nearest good university and spend some time hunting through sigplan notices, the symposia on principle of programming language, Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems &tc &tc. Start with the most recent stuff and follow the reference trails back. Check out Computing Reviews, if it has a recent survey of your field, that's a great place to start the reference-chasing trail. Take lots of quarters for the photocopier :) </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00747" HREF="msg00747.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Looking for books...</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> clawrenc#cup,hp.com</li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00673.html">Looking for books...</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00675.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Looking for books...</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00777.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: Character evolution</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00747.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Looking for books...</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00674"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00674"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>Re: [MUD-Dev] New topic: AI and NPCs</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00906" HREF="msg00906.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] New topic: AI and NPCs</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Sun 31 Aug 1997, 19:46 GMT </LI> </ul> </ul> <LI><strong><A NAME="00872" HREF="msg00872.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: Character evolution</A></strong>, coder <a href="mailto:coder#ibm,net">coder#ibm,net</a>, Sun 31 Aug 1997, 06:06 GMT </LI> </ul> </ul> <LI><strong><A NAME="00771" HREF="msg00771.html">RE: [MUD-Dev] Re: Character evolution</A></strong>, Koster, Raph <a href="mailto:rkoster#origin,ea.com">rkoster#origin,ea.com</a>, Wed 27 Aug 1997, 16:40 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00777" HREF="msg00777.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Re: Character evolution</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Wed 27 Aug 1997, 22:27 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00674" HREF="msg00674.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Looking for books...</A></strong>, Cynbe ru Taren <a href="mailto:cynbe#laurel,actlab.utexas.edu">cynbe#laurel,actlab.utexas.edu</a>, Tue 19 Aug 1997, 21:15 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00747" HREF="msg00747.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Looking for books...</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Tue 26 Aug 1997, 23:02 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00673" HREF="msg00673.html">Looking for books...</A></strong>, Greg Munt <a href="mailto:greg#uni-corn,demon.co.uk">greg#uni-corn,demon.co.uk</a>, Tue 19 Aug 1997, 19:07 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00675" HREF="msg00675.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Looking for books...</A></strong>, Caliban Tiresias Darklock <a href="mailto:caliban#darklock,com">caliban#darklock,com</a>, Tue 19 Aug 1997, 21:20 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00688" HREF="msg00688.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Looking for books...</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Wed 20 Aug 1997, 05:08 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
