(Biography)
I started in this industry back in 1985, as a co-op with IBM in Austin. I joined IBM full time in 1987, and spent 13 years with them. I later left to join a startup, and ultimately started my own business where I focus on helping customers build software with lightweight technologies.
I've been writing technical books for more than 10 years now, with the last 7 coming since 2000. I write for the love of the craft.
Others have told me that my fundamental strength as an author is the ability to quickly recognize emerging trends. I do tend to find emerging frameworks just as they become popular, and that skill is a mixed blessing that--combined with my complete lack of political tact--gets me in trouble sometimes, as it did with Bitter Java (Java is too hard), Beyond Java (Java is not going to last forever), and most recently, From Java to Ruby: Things Every Manager should Know (there's a better language for some problems, but our managers don't know it yet.)
My promise to you is this: I will always seek to find better ways to do things, and will work hard to tell you the truth, without regard for any notion of political correctness. Thanks for reading.
Ruby, Io, Prolog, Scala, Erlang, Clojure, Haskell. With Seven Languages in Seven Weeks, by Bruce A. Tate, you'll go beyond the syntax-and beyond the 20-minute tutorial you'll find someplace online. This book has an audacious goal: to present a meaningful exploration of seven languages within a single book. Rather than serve as a complete reference or installation guide, Seven Languages hits what's essential and unique about each language. Moreover, this approach will help teach you how to grok new languages.
For each language, you'll solve a nontrivial problem, using techniques that show off the language's most important features. As the book proceeds, you'll discover the strengths and weaknesses of the languages, while dissecting the process of learning languages quickly--for example, finding the typing and programming models, decision structures, and how you interact with them.
Among this group of seven, you'll explore the most critical programming models of our time. Learn the dynamic typing that makes Ruby, Python, and Perl so flexible and compelling. Understand the underlying prototype system that's at the heart of JavaScript. See how pattern matching in Prolog shaped the development of Scala and Erlang. Discover how pure functional programming in Haskell is different from the Lisp family of languages, including Clojure.
Explore the concurrency techniques that are quickly becoming the backbone of a new generation of Internet applications. Find out how to use Erlang's let-it-crash philosophy for building fault-tolerant systems. Understand the actor model that drives concurrency design in Io and Scala. Learn how Clojure uses versioning to solve some of the most difficult concurrency problems.
It's all here, all in one place. Use the concepts from one language to find creative solutions in another-or discover a language that may become one of your favorites.

评分合上书,五味杂陈。期间旅程,有因顿悟而欣喜,有因迷茫而忧郁,有因好奇而憧憬,有因晦涩而烦躁,有因好恶而斥责,有因困惑而愤怒……各色滋味聚上心头,汇成一股七彩斑斓的钦佩。 ## 欣喜 看到那十四行诗般的罗马数字DSL,不由惊叹method_missing还可以这么用。最早是在Pete...
评分书中的每一种语言都有各自的特色,每一中语言代表着一种编程范式。知晓这些语言,了解和理解这些语言所蕴含的知识,对于软件开发者而言是非常有必要的。这会开阔他们的眼界、开拓他们的思维,让他们在实际工作中更容易和更愿意去探索解决问题的不同方法。我推荐每一个软件开发...
评分作者从ruby开始,给大家带来了7盘小菜,说实话,如果你未曾接触过其中的语言,都会让你看的一头雾水,当然你要是有一打语言的经验,或者自己亲自设计过语言(命令式,OO,原型,FP),那你应该会有更多的体会。 对于作者的一些跟各种语言设计师的对话,从中你能得到每种语言的...

真的只是本简单的入门书,没有介绍一个语言为什么这样做,是最大的遗憾
评分长见识的书,可用于快速“了解”各种编程语言及范式间的特性。此外,作者诙谐的写作风格令本书增色不少。
评分七周都没有学会小舌音
评分每年学一门新语言确实是好主意。读过这本书之后,就提前完成7年的计划啦
评分多收了三五种Hello World的写法,主要作用还是让人对几种语言产生基本的观感,具体细节和扩展要另寻它处。Prolog最让人耳目一新,Clojure作为LISP的方言也很想了解一下。(2012-05-24在读)
