Bruce Eckel's Thinking In... Books

Bruce Eckel is a great communicator and programmer, he runs a company that provides training and consulting services in software development. He's written quite a few books on programming, and is the author of the Thinking In books. These latter books are quite comprehensive as well as being easy to comprehend.

Whilst the Thinking In books are written so that readers will gain a practical understanding of the subjects on their own, they also tie in with the courses and seminars that he gives. As such, and for a variety of other reasons, he's made them freely available online. This was a boon back when I discovered his work as a poverty stricken student back in 2000. Whilst I've never set aside enough time to go through them thoroughly they are great reads from a great mind.
