		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;ve mentioned previously, I&#8217;m a big fan of Toby Segaran&#8216;s book Programming Collective Intelligence. It introduces several cutting-edge algorithms for building intelligent web applications through a well chosen set of compelling example programs . A different author might have made the book a dull, overly mathematical ordeal but Segaran manages to inspire the reader [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (universally referred to as SICP) seems to be mentioned whenever people are discussing the great/classic/essential Computer Science books.  It typically generates a mixed response. Somebody recently sent a copy (anonymously?) to Python creator Guido van Rossum, apparently as a comment on his supposed ignorance (incidentally, this is an incredibly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been keen to take a look at John Ferguson Smart&#8216;s Java Power Tools since I first found out about it.  Fortunately, it has just been added to the ACM&#8217;s online books programme so, as an ACM member, I&#8217;ve been able to read it online. The book consists of 30 chapters, each dedicated to a [...]]]></description>

The content is also freely available online already and is well worth a look if, like me, you are keen to learn more about developing actual useful programs with Haskell. I first mentioned Real World [...]]]></description>
