Should be titled; "Most recommended programming books for non-programmers"

Not laid off but was just put on furlough

Good as a primer for those that aren't naturally hackers but decided to become computer science majors and have little to no experience with a unix-like operating system.

I learned Linux, the shell, basic scripting, and the terminal environment in high school out of necessity and then began to thoroughly enjoy it. Planning to enter university as a CS student I took the time to learn Vim, though I didn't start using it regularly until much later.

I can't exactly articulate why, but I'm fairly upset these sorts of things comprise an entire course. What happened to RTFM? Where is the general curiosity?

Why is Compilers an entire course? Databases? Operation Systems? All of these topics are covered in books you can read.

It's kind of like a special class to teach engineering students about all the features on their graphing calculator.

The website actually recommends using SICP accompanied by Brian Harvey's CS61A lectures. Highly recommended and then read The Little Schemer to get a strong grasp on recursion.

this is not how economics works

Indeed, economics require competition, which only happened thanks to AMD x64 alternative.
