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.
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.

这些大师基本上都是大学之前开始编程,并通过各种兼职、实习的方式参与大量的编程实践,又佐证了一万小时理论。 而对于编程语言、编程方式,每个人的看法都不同,甚至截然相反,所以口味的问题并不重要,重要的是深刻的理解。 另外,这些程序员几乎都是五六十年代成长起来的那...
評分绝世英才谈论他的童年,大学,软件开发的个人习惯,对其他语言的评价。讲到了他们是怎样开发出UNIX操作系统的,让读者如同置身于希腊神话的个人英雄主义时代,看到与现今的开发模式截然不同的做法。还可以看到Thompson对于新的软件开发思想的担忧,不免让人顿生英雄迟暮的感觉...
評分这是一本让人激奋又让人颓唐的书;这是一本让人学会狂妄,或者懂得谦卑的书;这是一本让人藐视编码,或者尊重编码的书;最终,它是一本教会我们从程序中收获乐趣的书,教师是这样一批让人高山仰止的牛人们。 正是因为这些牛人们不同寻常的经历,使得我们在阅读本书时,既充满...
評分如何成為一個coder呢……
