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.

我要站出来批评一下那个名为“去他的算法内功基础,对于程序员,实用主义才是王道” 的评论(我的评论对事不对人)。 首先我要说,这个观点绝对是错误的。表面上这句话好像抓住了“实用主义”的大旗,但却借此抨击算法等基本功的重要性,太误人子弟。就拿Google Fellow Jeff D...
評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...
評分读这本书,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,...
評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...
評分除了第一篇的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...
