Writing for Computer Science by Justin Zobel

I have absolutely fallen in love with the book Writing for Computer Science by Justin Zobel. I have been going about my research all this years learning through experience things that are specified in the book. Had i read the book, it would have been a much easier task for me.

This book is good for newbies to research as well as experienced researchers. It has many checklists that i am using for my research and find it easier and although i am yet to read the entire book, it provides on how to write a paper for computer science. According to me, its a must have for anyone who needs to do some writing for computer science and conduct research.
