Dean’s choice of (fictional) programming language books has completely changed my view of him.

I had previously assumed that he’d be the sort of person who’d own the classic texts (i.e. Common Lisp: The Language 2ed, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, Kernighan and Ritchie’s The C Programming Language 2ed, the O’Reilly Programming Perl book, possibly even the Algol 68 report, etc), but he has a shelfful of subpar books in the “SAMS Teach Yourself XXX in 21 Days” mould. I’m starting to wonder if he might not be the CS genius that he thinks he is…
