Allen Holub

His 1990 book ''Compiler Design in C'' is a 984-page reference book, recommended by several library services at the time, as well as trade publications and the comp.compiler Usenet group FAQ. It is now out of print, but available as a download on his website. One reviewer stated he preferred it to the "dragon book", ''Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools'', as its code examples made the material more approachable.

Holub's book ''Taming Java Threads'' is an edited re-print of a 9-part series from his Java Toolbox column. It has some good information, although is not as broad in coverage as other books. Holub's book ''Holub on Patterns: Learning Design Patterns by Looking at Code'' contains a few of his more popular Java Toolbox articles, but is mostly new content. It is a valuable resource for Java software developers. Provided by Wikipedia
