A good portion of my undergrad CS program used excerpts from TAOCP. So yeah - there&#x27;s good stuff in there, but maybe it wasn&#x27;t what you personally wanted. If you&#x27;ve been in industry for a long time, then sure - you&#x27;ve probably developed expertise in areas that TAOCP doesn&#x27;t cover. But if you are looking for a rigorous, broad, academic base then it is pretty solid.
