Showstopper! is a vivid account of the creation of Microsoft Windows NT, perhaps the most complex software project ever undertaken. It is also a portrait of David Cutler, NT's brilliant and, at times, brutally aggressive chief architect.
Cutler surely ranks as one of the most impressive software engineers the field has ever produced. After leading the team that created the VMS operating system for Digital's VAX computer line--an accomplishment that most would regard as a lifetime achievement--he went on to conceive and lead the grueling multi-year project that ultimately produced Windows NT. Both admired and feared by his team, Cutler would let nothing stand in the way of realizing his design and often clashed with his programmers, senior Microsoft management, and even Gates himself. Yet no matter how involved he became in managing his 100-programmer team, he continued to immerse himself in every technical detail of the project and write critical portions of the code himself.
Showstopper! is also a fascinating look at programmer and managerial culture behind the Microsoft facade. The portraits of the men and women who created NT not only reveal the brilliance of their work but the crushing stress and the dislocating effects that new wealth had on their lives. For some team members, the NT project ultimately destroyed their marriages, friendships, and virtually every human relationship outside of work. Showstopper! also reveals the uncertainties, false starts, and blind alleys that dogged the project as Microsoft repositioned NT from an improved OS/2 to something that would ultimately challenge both OS/2 and Unix for the title of the world's most powerful operating system.

評分我看的是中文版《觀止》,很好,Mark一下英文原版。
IT和软件项目经理 本书的成书时间是1994年,所以不会因微软后续发迹而产生偏见,也没有对后来各位微软大拿鼓吹。 作为一部报告文学,应该是相对客观的,描写了整个项目的众生相,每个出场人员都会从相貌、性格和经历介绍起,倒很像古典派的小说。 特别是作者还试图描述了一些...

評分最近事情比较多,难得静下来看会儿书,也好久没有特别关注新书市场的情况了!那天第一眼看到这本书的时候,最先是被这个名字吓了一跳,过了一会儿才反应过来,原来这是《Show Stopper!》的中文版,于是毫不犹豫的下了订单。 这绝对是一本能让你(如果你现在或曾经是名程...
評分这是一本不错的书,书中主要描述微软创建NT的重重困难。 看过了这本书,让我真正见识到了什么叫科学狂人,之前也许我认为那么多的天才来自于先天,或者说是来源于较早的启蒙开发,不过现在了解了那一份成功背后无数的努力艰辛。 这样的辛苦,是我们几个人能够承受得住的。 而且...
評分没看过这本书,看见NT这俩字母,想起了点什么。曾经也是个用C打遍天下的程序员,最早看NT的书,是95年看《Windows NT高级编程技术》,那时候,那时候还没学OS原理,看线程和内存交换跟天书一样,宿舍里装的还是Windows 3.1,也没有实践的机会。呵呵,那会感觉NT=New Technology...
