(Biography)
I started in this industry back in 1985, as a co-op with IBM in Austin. I joined IBM full time in 1987, and spent 13 years with them. I later left to join a startup, and ultimately started my own business where I focus on helping customers build software with lightweight technologies.
I've been writing technical books for more than 10 years now, with the last 7 coming since 2000. I write for the love of the craft.
Others have told me that my fundamental strength as an author is the ability to quickly recognize emerging trends. I do tend to find emerging frameworks just as they become popular, and that skill is a mixed blessing that--combined with my complete lack of political tact--gets me in trouble sometimes, as it did with Bitter Java (Java is too hard), Beyond Java (Java is not going to last forever), and most recently, From Java to Ruby: Things Every Manager should Know (there's a better language for some problems, but our managers don't know it yet.)
My promise to you is this: I will always seek to find better ways to do things, and will work hard to tell you the truth, without regard for any notion of political correctness. Thanks for reading.
Ruby, Io, Prolog, Scala, Erlang, Clojure, Haskell. With Seven Languages in Seven Weeks, by Bruce A. Tate, you'll go beyond the syntax-and beyond the 20-minute tutorial you'll find someplace online. This book has an audacious goal: to present a meaningful exploration of seven languages within a single book. Rather than serve as a complete reference or installation guide, Seven Languages hits what's essential and unique about each language. Moreover, this approach will help teach you how to grok new languages.
For each language, you'll solve a nontrivial problem, using techniques that show off the language's most important features. As the book proceeds, you'll discover the strengths and weaknesses of the languages, while dissecting the process of learning languages quickly--for example, finding the typing and programming models, decision structures, and how you interact with them.
Among this group of seven, you'll explore the most critical programming models of our time. Learn the dynamic typing that makes Ruby, Python, and Perl so flexible and compelling. Understand the underlying prototype system that's at the heart of JavaScript. See how pattern matching in Prolog shaped the development of Scala and Erlang. Discover how pure functional programming in Haskell is different from the Lisp family of languages, including Clojure.
Explore the concurrency techniques that are quickly becoming the backbone of a new generation of Internet applications. Find out how to use Erlang's let-it-crash philosophy for building fault-tolerant systems. Understand the actor model that drives concurrency design in Io and Scala. Learn how Clojure uses versioning to solve some of the most difficult concurrency problems.
It's all here, all in one place. Use the concepts from one language to find creative solutions in another-or discover a language that may become one of your favorites.
读完蛮失望的。 作者在前言中说:“I will take you beyond syntax”,要“get into the head of a language designer”。他写道“I won’t settle for a superficial treatment.” 那么这本书成功与否,就看作者是否实现了他的承诺。 在我看来,显然没有。 在前言中,作者...
评分不够聪明, 所以理解不了lisp及其方言. 看完之后对一些新兴的语言有了解, 不过也仅限于了解. 真的想熟悉一门语言, 还是要亲自动手开发一个项目才行. 帮助程序员拓宽一下知识面吧, 但谈不上有帮助. 可能还是因为不够聪明...
评分首先,看了此书的英文版之后又看了中文版,翻译应该算值得信赖。 Jolt的奖项也是对这本书的肯定。而最近这本书火起来,中文版也功不可没。 众所周知,每一种语言或复杂或简单,使用者想要使用到一定境界,都不是短短一周可以达成的。所以这本书从根本上就不是像副标题中描述的...
评分曾阅一博 http://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2012/07/27/six-languages-to-master/ ,曰,当今必学编程语言有六:Python、C、Java、Scala、Clojure、ML。 编程语言大类,莫非Object-Oriented,Procedural,Functional, Logical。而 《7 languages in 7 weeks》 则推荐如下...
评分如果没有五线谱,作曲家只能用自然语言谱曲,那会是什么样子?翻一翻几何原本,看看欧几里德用自然语言写数学的公式和推导,那是多么蛋疼。五线谱和数学公式都是一种专门的语言。 维特根斯坦说:凡是语言能表达的,都能说清楚,凡是语言不能表达的,都应该保持沉默。 国内编...
扫了scala的一段,什么时候有空继续扫erlang和clojure。
评分想法确实很好,执行上差了点,下一版估计会很不错。Scala这几年大行其道不是偶然啊。Java虽然被吐槽了十年,JVM却越来越主宰互联网了。看完之后最想认真学一下的,一是Scala,二是Haskell。Clojure的Syntax对于没有Lisp背景的人来说还是稍微难接受了点。本科的时候经常听到的说法是,语言不重要,老师们尤其喜欢讲这句话。后来无论是看Joel,Paul Graham还是这本7语言,基本都是在颠覆这个说法。
评分这本书似乎是点到即止的那种类型,我期望更深入的解读。
评分扫了scala的一段,什么时候有空继续扫erlang和clojure。
