Dijkstra was one of the most prolific computer scientists. He wrote the famous EWDs. It is not feasible to read them all. But I think there are some we all must read.
Which of them are a must-read?
Funny. I blogged about this: The E. W. Dijkstra Archive (Update). I think this may be pretty important, because it parallels the A Discipline of Programming book.
See also EWD316, A Short Introduction to the Art of Programming.
I recommend starting with his chapter in "Structured Programming". Not an EWD, technically, but my favorite Dijkstra. I also strongly recommend Stepanov's "Elements of Programming". In my mind, Stepanov is our generation's Dijkstra.
