Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll, of course, occupies the place of honor at the head of the procession. Alan Perlis said, "The best book on programming for the layman is Alice in Wonderland, but that's just because it's the best book on anything for the layman."...... It introduces the reader to many mathematical concepts that are central to programming, as well as a peculiar mindset. Folks who read Essentials of Programming Languages (see below) will find that the lengthy discussion therein about the distinction between the name of a variable, the binding of a variable, and the value of its binding is echoed by the White Knight's musing about his poem's name, for example.
