Books and Resources
This post should be a constantly updated one enumerating all the books I've read and enjoyed or learned from. I will most likely provide links to such books. I do NOT encourage people to not buy these books and just read them online. In fact, I bought most, if not all of them.
Books
Modern Operating Systems 4th Edition --- Andrew Tanenbaum
A must read book for low-level enthusiasts. It explains operating systems from zero with connecting it to history as well so that you see the exact evolution. The book itself is quite modern and still applies today conceptually.
Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools
To be fully read An amazing book to get introduced to what LLVM accomplishes.
Design Patterns --- Element of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
Another must read for any OOP user. Describes high-level strategies and patterns that makes you better and planning and implementing complex OOP applications.
Great for minimalist Vim users. I prefer to keep plugins at a minimum and some of these tricks help me drop a plugin or two from my workflow. It is definitely a more beginner friendly book.
Websites
A great quick reference for design patterns.
An amazing guide from 0xAX (as always) on Linux internals. Well structured and goes quite in-depth into the internals. I would recommend it for any OS developer in general. 0xAX's blog on NASM is also spot on and discusses many of the "secrets" in NASM. So unless you want to read the NASM manual again and again (which eventually you WILL do), their guide is a good place to "steal" tricks from.
Movies
A movie about the Erlang language. Even if you don't plan to use the language itself, the Actor-Model paradigm can be implemented/used in any language. Some people hail it as the replacement of OOP.
