What are the must read academic papers in computer science?
I would like to open a discussion about the best academic work for a technology professional.
- syndicatedjelly 2y agoIdeas that Created the Future by Harry Lewis has been a great read, I highly recommend it. It is a book full of the most influential papers for the field of computer science, according to the author. The author is a professor of computer science. He does a great job placing each paper in context and history, as well as explaining any dated concepts that modern developers aren't necessarily familiar with.
