Title: The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 4, Fascicle 2 : Generating All Tuples and Permutations (Art of Computer Programming) Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Authors: Donald E. Knuth Rating: 5/5  This preliminary excerpt from Knuth's Volume 4 will please all the fans of his seminal first three volumes. The didactic style is the same. So too is the very distinctive Tex typeface. (You know that he invented Tex, don't you?) Of course, there are the problem sets. This little book has two sections. In each are 112 problems. Strewth! Knuth thoughtfully gives an estimate next to each of how long it will take you to solve it. Those estimates probably refer to someone of his calibre. I've attempted most of the problems in his earlier volumes and could typically only get within a factor of two of the time estimate. And this was only when I could actually solve a problem. The book addresses a gap in the literature of computer science. Research papers in journals or books of conference proceedings do not usually present you with problems. While introductory texts do, but those are simple. Very difficult to find a solid compendium of challenging problems. Such is the attraction of this book to me and perhaps to you. The potential readership is exclusive and self selecting. The only drawback is the wait for the rest of Volume 4.

Title: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Administrator's Pocket Consultant Publisher: Microsoft Press Authors: William R. Stanek Rating: 5/5 Exactly as described, this small form book provides a one-stop administrator's reference for the administration and maintenance of Windows 2003 without the need to break out the larger tomes available out there. Not for use as a learning guide for the OS, nor really designed as certification study guide, this is a must have for anyone on the job.

Title: Mastering Regular Expressions, Second Edition Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Jeffrey E. F. Friedl Rating: 5/5 Friedl's book is a masterpiece on all levels - he makes a dry subject fascinating and exciting, coaxes and encourages you through the tough parts without nannying you, repeatedly emphasises important points without boring you, scatters tempting glimpses into later topics and crafts a book which is a delight to read. In his preface, Friedl advises readers to avoid the temptation to leap to the chapter on their favourite tool, and instead read the book first as a story. The flow of his writing makes it hard to read it any other way. The only distraction is the desire to constantly check your code against that in the book (a desire which usually leads you to completely rewrite your inefficient code). I cannot recommend this book enough to anyone who wants to make their life easier. Must go now, as I still have 5 pages left before I get to the end
