On: What are the best programming books around?

[Mithrandir]

C is a good language, but if you're just starting off with computer programming, you should try Python.

Otherwise, TAOCP is a good book. MIT also offers some free course work at: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput... and http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput...

Full list at http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/#electrical-engineering-and-compu...

Good luck! :)

Actually I am versed with computer programming , but the thing is I am not well versed with computer architecture and related stuff, so what are the best resources I should follow to get well versed with computer architecture?

[Mithrandir → rishabhverma]

At MIT OpenCourseWare, there are several good courses on computer architecture.
