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
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.
除了第一篇的Jamie还算年轻,其他都是老江湖了。访谈的话题话题,对于普通的计算机从业者来说比较晦涩,即便是能理解,那些上古的内容,泛泛一看没什么启发。觉得有些收获的是这些业界泰斗们对整个行业和他们职业生涯的看法,很难想象有真么多在计算机世界里浸淫几十年的精英。他们对...
