I wonder if HN could share their favorite pieces of technical writing?

Preferably openly available content so that everyone can access (blogs etc.)

Focus is on "overall" score: tone, presentation, etc. as opposed to "very technically advanced" (although advanced examples fully welcome)

EDIT: awesome suggestions so far - should add that it doesn't have to be programming or even computer related... cookbooks count!

In the spirit of the "How Do You Learn?" thread - what are you favorite examples of well done textbooks/pedagogical material, in any subject?

Looking for works that people believe weaves natural narrative with explicit "learning material" in the best way. It could be entertainment, quality of writing, organization - I suppose there is no limit to the strategy of making new material both accessible and smooth. Feynman~ish comes to mind here!
