Hi everyone,

I've been compiling a list of algorithms and making them publicly available at http://algorithmexamples.com for free. Hopefully they'll be as useful to everyone here as they were to me.

If you have any suggestions for new algorithms or languages that we should add please feel free to comment below.

By "canonical" I mean some fuzzy mixture of: respected and used by professors, and holding adequately comprehensive and modern coverage of the field. Here are some texts that I would regard as canonical in some fields of CS:

• Algorithms: CLRS

• Computer Architecture: Hennessy

• Computer Organization: Patterson

• Automata: Hopcroft

and given that it's euphemistically called "the bible" then I should add "The Bible of Computer Graphics" even though I know almost nothing about it and could not actually defend its status as canon if I had to.

I've also heard mention of the following, but am a little less certain that they are modern or respected enough to still be regarded as something like canon:

• Databases: Ramakrishnan

• OSs: The Dinosaur Book, and Tanenbaum

• Compilers: The Dragon Book, SICP

• Distributed Systems: van Steen

• Networks: Kurose

• Theory of Computation: Sipser

• Web design: Duckett

Would love to hear corrections, confirmations, or names of new texts that could be regarded as something like a gold-standard for a field in CS.
