Peter Seibel is a serious developer of long standing. In the early days of the Web, he hacked Perl for Mother Jones and Organic Online. He participated in the Java revolution as an early employee at WebLogic which, after its acquisition by BEA, became the cornerstone of the latter's rapid growth in the J2EE sphere. He has also taught Java programming at UC Berkeley Extension. He is the author of Practical Common LISP from Apress.
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!

隻讀瞭Bloch, Knuth, Thompson, Crockford幾個人的章節,最後實在是讀不下去瞭,並不是大師們的言論或是錶達有問題,而是覺得書裏的內容和現在自己所處的狀況相距太遠瞭,好比是登泰山,大師們已經紛紛登泰山小天下瞭,指點江山、迴憶過去走過的緊慢十八盤瞭,評說現在的登山綫...
評分這是一本讓人激奮又讓人頹唐的書;這是一本讓人學會狂妄,或者懂得謙卑的書;這是一本讓人藐視編碼,或者尊重編碼的書;最終,它是一本教會我們從程序中收獲樂趣的書,教師是這樣一批讓人高山仰止的牛人們。 正是因為這些牛人們不同尋常的經曆,使得我們在閱讀本書時,既充滿...
評分讀完圖靈俱樂部譯的《編程人生》的前兩章,給我第一感覺就是:聽君一席話,勝讀十年書。 Peter Seibel先生對編程先驅Zawinski、Fitzpatrick的訪談非常精彩。從這兩章訪談中,我收獲到瞭以下幾點: 1. 保持好奇心,充滿激情,編程人生纔精彩,編程人生纔快樂。著名黑客Zawinski...
評分這些大師基本上都是大學之前開始編程,並通過各種兼職、實習的方式參與大量的編程實踐,又佐證瞭一萬小時理論。 而對於編程語言、編程方式,每個人的看法都不同,甚至截然相反,所以口味的問題並不重要,重要的是深刻的理解。 另外,這些程序員幾乎都是五六十年代成長起來的那...
評分說是休閑書,是因為我沒有從頭到尾看的打算,我隻是在上班無聊時打開隨便看看。以我的英文能力,沒有把任何英文讀物當成休閑書看的本事,那要求一目十行,我還是隻能一句一句地看,頂多發現下麵的東西不感興趣,就整體跳過。 牛人們陳述革命史是不愛看的,看瞭覺得自己當年的...
