The author of Practical Common Lisp.
Peter Seibel is either a writer turned programmer or programmer turned writer. After picking up an undergraduate degree in English from Yale and working briefly as a journalist, he was seduced by the web. In the early '90s he hacked Perl for Mother Jones Magazine and Organic Online. He participated in the Java revolution as an early employee at WebLogic and later taught Java programming at UC Berkeley Extension. In 2003 he quit his job as the architect of a Java-based transactional messaging system, planning to hack Lisp for a year. Instead he ended up spending two years writing the Jolt Productivity Award-winning Practical Common Lisp. Since then he's been working as chief monkey at Gigamonkeys Consulting, learning to train chickens, practicing Tai Chi, working on his new book, Coders at Work, and being a dad. He lives in Berkeley, California, with his wife Lily, daughter Amelia, and dog Mahlanie.
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 What you'll learnHow the best programmers in the world do their jobs! Who this book is for Programmers interested in the point of view of leaders in the field. Programmers looking for approaches that work for some of these outstanding programmers.

只读了Bloch, Knuth, Thompson, Crockford几个人的章节,最后实在是读不下去了,并不是大师们的言论或是表达有问题,而是觉得书里的内容和现在自己所处的状况相距太远了,好比是登泰山,大师们已经纷纷登泰山小天下了,指点江山、回忆过去走过的紧慢十八盘了,评说现在的登山线...
评分绝世英才谈论他的童年,大学,软件开发的个人习惯,对其他语言的评价。讲到了他们是怎样开发出UNIX操作系统的,让读者如同置身于希腊神话的个人英雄主义时代,看到与现今的开发模式截然不同的做法。还可以看到Thompson对于新的软件开发思想的担忧,不免让人顿生英雄迟暮的感觉...
评分 评分以访谈录的形式来将15位软件先驱的方方面面融合到一本书,起码对于采访者有非常高的要求,这点来说,Peter Seibel做的非常成功,他对技术及程序员到软件先驱的成长路上的经验与挑战有很好的把握,也就是说,通过Peter的访谈,读者基本能找到自己想要的,也正是本书的一大特色,...
终于读完了,from cover to cover。
评分只看了几个我听过名字的,内容还是很深刻的,那些轶事看得我不亦乐乎
评分看八卦还是比看技术书轻松啊~
评分牛人都爱C
评分大佬们都爱黑C++。
