Two new books added to the library…
Got to make use of some 40% off coupons at Barnes & Nobel today:
- Algorithms in a Nutshell : I’d been eying this book for a while now, finally took the plunge. I’m particularly interested in their chapters about convex hull generation, and path-finding AI. The problem-solving techniques in general I find quite fascinating.
- Visualizing Data : By Ben Fry, one of the co-creators of Processing. I find this interesting not only in the code-examples behind displaying data to the screen, but the processes behind finding and parsing the data in the first place. Also serves as a good bridge between Processing and Java, with examples of running Processing in Eclipse (see my post here).
