Oh wow that reading list is so comprehensive. I really liked Shreve in general. I'm about halfway through and I feel so good when I read it because I actually understand line by line and that's how the concepts stay in my head.
Andy Nguyen: I've heard of Boost and Quantlib, actually I already have Boost installed and I know Quantlib runs with Boost. But what exactly can one do in efforts to get practical finance coding experience (ie. coding a strategy for pairs trading) without a platform? (Like, for example, what exactly could I make the code do without real-time info? I *could* get real-time info if I had a platform, but I would need one which works with Boost and Quantlib then, so that it would take my C++ code as input. Do you see what I'm trying to ask here?)
