Reader
Origin
First we assumed to make reading a mandatory part of our non-educational process - something like "each participant should choose at least 10 books from the reader, read them and present feedback not later than..."
Then we discovered that some students enjoy reading more than the others and there is no direct dependence between passion to reading and progress students demonstrate during the course. So, we left the process more flexible, though it’s still meant that a good student is reading at least 2-3 books from it.
Reader's compilation
Initially it consisted of books, advised by Sergey and Nikolay. Then students started to propose some books into it. During the lectures many guest speakers somehow mentioned one or two books, related with the topic they were speaking about - such books were also put into the reader. Then it became a tradition. At the moment we request each guest speaker to evangelize 2-3 books related with the topic of their lecture.
In the reader you can find books, recommended by: Jury Lifshits, Alexander Shtuchkin, Oleg Stepanov (JetBrains), and many others.
