Good O-Chem and Computer Science texts?

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for Organic Chemistry textbooks include seeking out introductory texts that provide clear explanations and problem sets suitable for beginners. For Computer Science, while Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" is a classic, it may be too expensive for high school students. Alternatives like "Concrete Mathematics" are mentioned, though their content may require further exploration to understand their relevance. "Code Complete" is noted for its positive reputation, and it’s suggested to consider textbooks focused on specific programming languages, such as C or PHP, to find more affordable options that align with individual interests.

I know this is PhysicsForums and all, but I was wondering whether anyone had any recommendations for good Organic Chemistry textbooks,as well as for CS. I don't really know much about texts for the former subject, and the latter, all I can think of is Knuth's Art of Computer Programming series, which is out of my budget (as a high school student), and I guess Concrete Mathematics to an extent (I'm not quite sure what it's about, though, but I've always thought of it as Discrete Math plus some extra stuff), of which I might be able to get a cheap Indian version.

I've heard good things about code complete, although I have never personally read it. You may want to take a look at textbooks for specific subjects, such as programming in c or php (these are just examples- choose whichever language you're interested in).
 
TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
