The Book List Is Out - First Semester

Hi Readers,

Who likes to study? Yeah, show me one who does and I will show thousands others who don't! But there comes a time, when one has to leave behind all the excuses and therefore all the options of answering the question, when are you going to start, exhausts! That time is when the course handouts are uploaded and the book lists are released. Then the ball is on the student's court. Now it is her/his responsibility to make a shot and therefore shoot towards the book-shops to grab a copy of the books in the book-list of the various subjects in the semester.

As I have mentioned in an earlier blog, that the subjects opted for -- in the first semester -- are Computer Networks (CN), Data Structures and Algorithm (DSA), Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) and last but not the least, Software Engineering and Management (SEM).

And now the book-list is out and here it is!

• CN -- Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach Featuring the Internet, Pearson Education, 3rd Edition, 2005 by Kurose James F and Keith W. Ross.

• DSA -- Algorithm Design: Foundations, Analysis & Internet Examples, Wiley Student Edition, 2002 by Goodrich, Michael T & Roberto Tamassia.

• OOAD -- Applying UML and Patterns: An Introduction to Object-Oriented Analysis and Design and Iterative Development, Pearson Education, 3rd Ed., 2004 by Larman, Craig.

• SEM -- Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach, MGHISE, 7th Ed., 2010 by Pressman, R.S..

Now the ball is in our court, and what I wonder is that I have not even considered buying the racket yet!! Just Awesome!!

Best wishes!
