I know some of you have some reasonably-sized libraries, so I was
wondering if you might be able to recommend some books for me?
Topics:
OOD
Compiler design
Database design (esp persistence)
Tree algorithms (esp R-Trees, et al) (all I can find are general
algorithm books that discuss binary trees - sigh)
Parser/NLP design
Memory management (perhaps)
This list could go on and on, so I'll stop here. I consider these to be
important concepts in mud design; how anyone can claim to have written a
mud *without* reading thick books, this is beyond me! Certainly a lot of
work for a so-called 'hobby' :)
I'm not too sure if this post is off-topic, or not - so, apologies where
neccessary.
