The set has truly a special place in information technology or computer science world. To understand his books, one needs to take a serious time off to read those books and re-read them again.
If you think that you're a programmer just because you can write a program in your sleep. Well...
Bill Gates once said, “If you think you’re a really good programmer… read Art of Computer Programming… You should definitely send me a résumé if you can read the whole thing.”
