(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.

读后感

挑着看的,看了Ruby,Io,Clojure,Haskell几章。开拓了视野,原来编程语言还可以这么玩。 不得不说,Python果然是集大成者,吸收各种语言的特性,难怪用起来这么爽。但也丧失了各种语言的最核心的优势,比如Ruby 的元编程能力,Lisp的宏等等。 这本书中介绍的几种编程语言都或...

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...

从众多语言中,挑出本书包含的几门语言,这一过程也许不像你想得那么复杂。我们只不过发了些调查问卷,向本书的潜在读者请教了一番。调查数据汇总上来时,有八门语言入选希望最大。不过,我先是把JavaScript“踢”了出去,因为它实在是过于热门了,取而代之的是原型语言中热门...

作者从ruby开始,给大家带来了7盘小菜,说实话,如果你未曾接触过其中的语言,都会让你看的一头雾水,当然你要是有一打语言的经验,或者自己亲自设计过语言(命令式,OO,原型,FP),那你应该会有更多的体会。 对于作者的一些跟各种语言设计师的对话,从中你能得到每种语言的...

这本书似乎是点到即止的那种类型,我期望更深入的解读。

多收了三五种Hello World的写法,主要作用还是让人对几种语言产生基本的观感,具体细节和扩展要另寻它处。Prolog最让人耳目一新,Clojure作为LISP的方言也很想了解一下。(2012-05-24在读)

七周都没有学会小舌音

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

长见识的书,可用于快速“了解”各种编程语言及范式间的特性。此外,作者诙谐的写作风格令本书增色不少。
