I went to the Davis Centre Library at the University of Waterloo looking for books on Automata Theory. I stumbled upon that very book. And though I dismissed it because the formatting was horrible, I…

I need good resources to learn the following topics at an undergraduate/graduate level : - Databases and SQL - Compilers, formal languages and automata theory - Operating systems - Computer networking If you have recommendations on books or courses online that could help me go over these topics, that would be very helpful.
