* Program design in the UNIX environment (1984): http://harmful.cat-v.org/cat-v/unix_prog_design.pdf

Glipse into unix essentials. Do one thing well on an example so you'll never forget it again. Doing less requires more care and attention to detail.

* From Frequency to Meaning (2010): https://www.jair.org/media/2934/live-2934-4846-jair.pdf
