So, I've been into programming for quite some time. I've decided to stick with C++ as a "base" and "reference" language but i learned lots of other languages so i have a general view.
I'd now like to further widen this view by reading adequate books.. for example, I'd rather learn a new language with a book that describes its syntax and library and makes comparisons with other languages or with the way in which the code gets translated in asm instead of one of those "for dummies". Or, I'd really love a book or article with a general comparison of languages: which does what best and why; or the development of languages and their history.. I really don't know, I just like learning new things and connecting them to others I already know to understand both better so, what are your suggestions? Read any interesting things lately?
Also, discussions about learning and learning methods are greatly appreciated as I'd like to hear your own ideas.

Thanks in advance Smile

For ASM, I recommend Knuth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Computer_Programming

It's an old book, really irrelevant given today's memory sizes, but there is still a lot of relevant theory in the book. And it touches on CPU architectures a bit too.

Read advanced C++ books, learn new techniques using object oriented programming, learn how to use templates, learn how to design your code properly and ofcourse, solve a lot of problems, devise your own algorithms, make use of the standard template libraries and if you want, Windows specific: learn about Win32 APIs.
