There was a time, not too long ago, when the typewriter and notebook ruled, and the computer as an everyday tool was simply a vision. Revolution in the Valley traces this vision back to its earliest roots: the hallways and backrooms of Apple, where the groundbreaking Macintosh computer was born. The book traces the development of the Macintosh, from its inception as an underground skunkworks project in 1979 to its triumphant introduction in 1984 and beyond. The stories in Revolution in the Valley come on extremely good authority. That's because author Andy Hertzfeld was a core member of the team that built the Macintosh system software, and a key creator of the Mac's radically new user interface software. One of the chosen few who worked with the mercurial Steve Jobs, you might call him the ultimate insider. When Revolution in the Valley begins, Hertzfeld is working on Apple's first attempt at a low-cost, consumer-oriented computer: the Apple II. He sees that Steve Jobs is luring some of the company's most brilliant innovators to work on a tiny research effort the Macintosh. Hertzfeld manages to make his way onto the Macintosh research team, and the rest is history. Through lavish illustrations, period photos (many never before published), and Hertzfeld's vivid first-hand accounts, Revolution in the Valley reveals what it was like to be there at the birth of the personal computer revolution. The story comes to life through the book's portrait of the talented and often eccentric characters who made up the Macintosh team. Now, over 20 years later, millions of people are benefiting from the technical achievements of this determined and brilliant group of people.
这本书适合时不时拿出来看一段。虽然场景不在今天,随处都是共鸣。看来,不管技术和产品如何变迁,这些构思和生产它们的人,稳定和持久得多。如果你也是工程师,或身在这种文化之中,透过他们的一言一行,尤其是背后多姿多彩的内心戏,你才能更好地了解自己或你身边这些古怪的...
評分最近我开始逐字逐句深入阅读这本书,越读真是越有意思。这本书的作者在当时,也还是个开发者,程序员。他亲身参与了苹果公司创立早期的那几年(作者于1979年加入的苹果公司),也和乔布斯、沃兹等人近距离共事过。 他从他的角度讲述了Macintosh诞生的整个过程,这里面有冲突,...
評分很有趣,推荐大家去读,书中有不少对于苹果公司的爆料,插图也很多,读起来很轻松。唯一不好的地方就是翻译过来的,读起来会稍微有点吃力。
評分所有问题记录在此:http://datou.is-programmer.com/posts/15369.html 据china-pub上的seanxu说,这本大陆版本引进的是台湾O'reilly翻译的版本,对书中大陆不常用的词汇进行了相应的转换。 版权页上写的是洪慧芳译,庄惠淳编。那么洪慧芳应该是台湾译者,庄惠淳应该是做转换...
評分绝大多部分都完全沉浸在Macintosh团队的开发氛围之中,但当苹果由于公司发展和团队调整出现大企业很难避免的问题之后,Andy和Burrell相继从苹果离职,不免唏嘘感叹。 两个如此热爱Macintosh的天才级开发者就这样退出了苹果舞台。现在看来他们甚至都没有迎来苹果的巅峰时刻,不...
