I've read and understood them both but didn't recognize them from the initials. In another comment here, someone said

> TAoCP (er, Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming")

I also would not have recognized TAoCP as referring to the Knuth book. Not all corners of the tech world commonly refer to tech books by their initials. That doesn't mean they have nothing useful to say about them.




I agree. This is another acronym I struggle to recognise when I see it despite being reasonably familiar with the first three volumes since my high school and college days back in the 80's.
