The Last Psion | AlexAnother one to add to the collection. And this one's seminal.
The Dragon Book.
Matt Lacey@thelastpsion Genuinely can't remember if I ever bought that. I know I meant to!
Cyningstan@thelastpsion I bought it when I thought I was going to get into compiler writing. I got as far as doing an interpreter and transpiler for Tiny BASIC before I moved on to other things.
Moonshine Brigade@thelastpsion oh dear... and what cover does the one on regex have? A wizard casting dark magik, summoning Cthulhu?
Taran Rampersad@thelastpsion hahaha I had a copy of this.
Seminal indeed!
Obot 50549535@thelastpsion Look, here it is, on my shelf of books I bought a long time ago. This one says "Second printing, March 1978."
Pomegranate_StewNice acquisition!
(From the shelf next to my desk. The 1988 reprint with corrections.)
Darwin WoodkaIt's either on hub's bookshelf or in the garage storage.
Kyle Memoir 🍉🐧Re cover machine: was always nice when you didn't have to swap floppies after booting the o/s.
Robert Price@thelastpsion I’ve still got mine. A really good book.
