PROGRAMMING BOOKS & LIBRARIES

List of Free Learning Resources (most importantly)

If you want to find a learning resource, you should definitely check out our site, Free Learning Resources. And for those who want to learn a computer language, you should check out these books on reSRC.io or on github. This list initially was a clone of stackoverflow - List of Freely Available Programming Books by George Stocker. Now updated, with dead links gone and new content.

Mathematics and computer science Papers of D. J. Bernstein

Author: Bjarne Stroustrup (INVENTOR OF C++ STD)

—note: this is the only programming book I'd listed, --partly because of the resource listed above. I very much advocate the man's books as well as CPU/APU/GPU OpCode instructions.

You also might wish to look into Dennis Ritchie and his work --- creator of C programming lang.

RESEARCH PAPERS AND GROUPS

----

Author: (Dr) RICHARD ALAN MILLER

(NOTE) The work of 'RAM' is best looked into via a search engine as the public materials provided by RAM are somewhat vast  compared to my inclination to provide an index to his content.  For brevity, I've provided a thesis below and a link to his web-site.  RAM is quite active in the public domain providing his ideas via his blog, publications as he is interviewed several radio shows.

“Author and researcher Dr. Richard Alan Miller reveals a depth of knowledge and experience in Alternative Agriculture, Physics, and Metaphysics. Miller began working in the secret world of Navy Intel (Seal Corp. and then MRU) in the late 60s, and now has amazing experiences and conclusions to share. His writings reveal a depth of knowledge and experience in three major fields; Alternative Agriculture, Physics, and Metaphysics. Before many leading edge concepts became trendy topics, Miller was (and is) in the international front lines of research, experimentation and documentation. Today, Miller writes for Nexus magazine and is a preferred guest on internet radio. In the 21st century Miller is re-emerging at a critical time in humanities evolution where metaphysics and practical survival converge.”

1973 A HOLOGRAPHIC CONCEPT OF REALITY

by RICHARD ALAN MILLER, BURT WEBB, and DARDEN DICKSON

“Abstract: The organization of any biological system is established by a complex electrodynamic field which is, in part, determined by its atomic physiochemical components and which, in part, determines the behavior and orientation of these components. The holographic model of reality emerging from this principle may provide a scientific explanation of psychoenergetic phenomena.”

ROYALTY-FREE AUDIO-BOOKS

While this section seems a bit too out of place for my liking, there are not many sources for audio-books out there. While you-tube happens to be a wonderful source of audio-books, many of the audio-books up there tend to be from publicly available sources.

IAPSOP --- “The Standard Spiritualist and Occult Corpus (SSOC) is an open source text project, focused on book-length texts, in English, covering Spiritualism, the occult, New Thought and allied parasciences (mesmerism, magnetism, phrenology, alchemy, chiromancy and so forth) published between 1790 and 1940. Currently (Release 1.1) the SSOC consists of more than 2,300 book-length texts (more than 1 million pages) by over 300 authors, and includes many of the texts considered "classics" in Spiritualism and the occult. Every text in the SSOC is supplied, free of charge, in indexed PDF form, allowing it to be electronically stored, searched, printed and converted (to image, HTML or text).

The University of Science and Philosophy --- Walter Bowman Russell; LOOK HIM UP!

“Read and meditate. Re-read, and meditate further.”

“The University of Science and Philosophy , which was formerly The Walter [& Lao] Russell Foundation, was formed for the purpose of giving to the world-family The Message of the Divine Iliad, by Walter Russell, which is a scientific explanation of God’s ways and processes in the construction of His universe, and the Message of a Living Philosophy, by Lao Russell, for illuminating man’s Cosmic way of Life in his long journey of life from the dark to God’s Light.”

Author: Vladimere Megré

from the author's web-site:

“At the beginning of Perestroika (reforms of the late 1980s) he was the president of the Inter-Regional Association of Siberian Entrepreneurs. In 1994-5 he organized two large-scale trade expeditions with a fleet of river steamers along the River Ob along the route Novosibirsk — Salekhard — Novosibirsk at his own expense. On this trip, an encounter with Anastasia in the Siberian taiga changed his entire life.”
