Peter Seibel interviews 15 of the most interesting computer programmers alive today in Coders at Work, offering a companion volume to Apress's highly acclaimed best-seller Founders at Work by Jessica Livingston. As the words "at work" suggest, Peter Seibel focuses on how his interviewees tackle the day-to-day work of programming, while revealing much more, like how they became great programmers, how they recognize programming talent in others, and what kinds of problems they find most interesting. Hundreds of people have suggested names of programmers to interview on the Coders at Work web site: www.codersatwork.com. The complete list was 284 names. Having digested everyone's feedback, we selected 15 folks who've been kind enough to agree to be interviewed: * Frances Allen: Pioneer in optimizing compilers, first woman to win the Turing Award (2006) and first female IBM fellow * Joe Armstrong: Inventor of Erlang * Joshua Bloch: Author of the Java collections framework, now at Google * Bernie Cosell: One of the main software guys behind the original ARPANET IMPs and a master debugger * Douglas Crockford: JSON founder, JavaScript architect at Yahoo! * L. Peter Deutsch: Author of Ghostscript, implementer of Smalltalk-80 at Xerox PARC and Lisp 1.5 on PDP-1 * Brendan Eich: Inventor of JavaScript, CTO of the Mozilla Corporation * Brad Fitzpatrick: Writer of LiveJournal, OpenID, memcached, and Perlbal * Dan Ingalls: Smalltalk implementor and designer * Simon Peyton Jones: Coinventor of Haskell and lead designer of Glasgow Haskell Compiler * Donald Knuth: Author of The Art of Computer Programming and creator of TeX * Peter Norvig: Director of Research at Google and author of the standard text on AI * Guy Steele: Coinventor of Scheme and part of the Common Lisp Gang of Five, currently working on Fortress * Ken Thompson: Inventor of UNIX * Jamie Zawinski: Author of XEmacs and early Netscape/Mozilla hacker What you'll learnHow the best programmers in the world do their jobs! Who this book is for Programmers interested in the point of view of leaders in the field. Programmers looking for approaches that work for some of these outstanding programmers.

The author of Practical Common Lisp.
Peter Seibel is either a writer turned programmer or programmer turned writer. After picking up an undergraduate degree in English from Yale and working briefly as a journalist, he was seduced by the web. In the early '90s he hacked Perl for Mother Jones Magazine and Organic Online. He participated in the Java revolution as an early employee at WebLogic and later taught Java programming at UC Berkeley Extension. In 2003 he quit his job as the architect of a Java-based transactional messaging system, planning to hack Lisp for a year. Instead he ended up spending two years writing the Jolt Productivity Award-winning Practical Common Lisp. Since then he's been working as chief monkey at Gigamonkeys Consulting, learning to train chickens, practicing Tai Chi, working on his new book, Coders at Work, and being a dad. He lives in Berkeley, California, with his wife Lily, daughter Amelia, and dog Mahlanie.
首先感谢图书大厦给我们买书的冲动。刚看完了jwz, Ken, Peter Novig, Guy Steele的,发现无论是科班出身还是从屏保程序自说自话,最终这帮人都能获得大牛的成就,感觉好像是当初刚入校门,像冰火里詹姆小时候对拂晓神剑、白牛、巴利斯坦等人的感觉一样:"我可是将来要成为火影...
评分读完图灵俱乐部译的《编程人生》的前两章,给我第一感觉就是:听君一席话,胜读十年书。 Peter Seibel先生对编程先驱Zawinski、Fitzpatrick的访谈非常精彩。从这两章访谈中,我收获到了以下几点: 1. 保持好奇心,充满激情,编程人生才精彩,编程人生才快乐。著名黑客Zawinski...
评分 评分以访谈录的形式来将15位软件先驱的方方面面融合到一本书,起码对于采访者有非常高的要求,这点来说,Peter Seibel做的非常成功,他对技术及程序员到软件先驱的成长路上的经验与挑战有很好的把握,也就是说,通过Peter的访谈,读者基本能找到自己想要的,也正是本书的一大特色,...

断断续续看了一年
评分typing it
评分读得心潮澎湃,大师的境界——虽不能至,心向往之。
评分大牛很多方法真心没法复制。Knuth对TeX的编程实现是先在笔记本上完成的。。我挑看的几位大牛对C++都没好感。八卦不少,和我口味。
