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.

这是一本让人激奋又让人颓唐的书;这是一本让人学会狂妄,或者懂得谦卑的书;这是一本让人藐视编码,或者尊重编码的书;最终,它是一本教会我们从程序中收获乐趣的书,教师是这样一批让人高山仰止的牛人们。 正是因为这些牛人们不同寻常的经历,使得我们在阅读本书时,既充满...
评分读这本书,你不能指望从大师那学到什么可以立马上手的技能,也不能奢望读完了你就站在了大师的肩膀从此可以一览无遗。相反,这是一本介绍15位世界级编程大师的“发迹”史的。开放的国度和文化造就了先进的IT业,还有他们,这些中国读者熟悉不熟悉的名字。 所以,换个角度看,...
评分前些天和同事开玩笑的说,你愿意花10元钱去听对一位世界顶级大师的采访么?几乎所有的都表示愿意付更多的钱也去。 对呀,很便宜不是么?我读到了这本《编程人生》(英文版名称为Coders at Work)有十五位编程大师的访谈,我在读书的时候大赚了一笔。 当然我读这本书不是赚...
评分除了第一篇的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...
评分大佬们都爱黑C++。
评分这种书我应该不会再看了。
评分本来以为是就某一话题讨论,结果成人生历程了
评分看传奇人物相互评议,非常有趣。
评分以为是09年开边记录只是11年的年初。600多页,慢慢啃了这么多年,直到今天在地铁上翻完最后一页。 别人的经历都很精彩,尤其是本书前面的几个,大概作者故意的吧,吸引别人的眼球。中间一些说实话索然无味,最后的大神没爆料几个故事甚是可惜。
