Two side notes:

It would be cool if people have a bibtex or other reference file to
share. There often come some reference to some PDF that someone wrote
up to a proceeding or to some journal. And often they are directly
linked to Pd, and at other times they are about a general dsp/
synthesis topic.
I ask since while these mastodon and influential text books are good
there is a lot of stuff spread out in journals and proceedings that
are worth reading and which are detailed and interesting on it's own.

The relates to a prayer i have been meaning to say: Some of the cool
stuff people make or implement in Pd often use some technique or are
inspired by some article (or part of a book). It would be really nice
with more references in those patches.
Note that i don't say that since i'm lazy and just don't bother to
ready the books mentioned in this thread - in fact i can't wait to
read them and have been meaning to for a while, but don't have had
the time.
I say that since i don't have a music or new-media background hence
it's hard to put thing into an over all picture of what is techniques
are about - much like what i think is shift8 motivation for the
request, to get a picture of what is out there and what does it do.
I also believe that adding such lill info in patches, that i request
in my prayer, will aid the use Pd in conventional (university
courses) as well as unconventional (workshops, self-learning)
learning environments.
And yeah. Big up to the community power.
