Programming Methodology teaches the widely-used Java programming language along with good software engineering principles. http://see.stanford.edu/see/courseinfo.aspx?coll=824a47e1-135f-4508-a5aa-866adcae1111

30 free programming eBooks - citizen428.blog()

Since this post got quite popular I decided to incorporate some of the excellent suggestions posted in the comments, so this list now has more than 50 books in it. BTW : I’m not very strict on the definition of “ebook”, some of them are really just HTML versions of books. [ UPDATED : 2012-01-18] http://citizen428.net/blog/2010/08/12/30-free-programming-ebooks
(Note: The links on the Part headings below point to the introductions to the major parts of the book, each introducing one "big idea." Each introduction is about a page of text.) http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~bh/simply-toc.html

Steering Behaviors For Autonomous Characters

Abstract: This paper presents solutions for one requirement of autonomous characters in animation and games: the ability to navigate around their world in a life-like and improvisational manner. These "steering behaviors" are largely independent of the particulars of the character's means of locomotion. Combinations of steering behaviors can be used to achieve higher level goals (For example: get from here to there while avoiding obstacles, follow this corridor, join that group of characters...)
