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.

这两天每天中午午休前都会看一些《编程人生》。现在已经看了七八个人,这些人开始编程的时候,正好是计算机的起步期,所以对整个计算机的底层都比较了解。不知道这是不是这些人能够成为大师的一个必要条件,自己有没有必要在这方面努力一下。我想这也是很多程序员思考过的问题...
評分 評分只读了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...
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...

斷斷續續看瞭一年
评分隻看瞭幾個我聽過名字的,內容還是很深刻的,那些軼事看得我不亦樂乎
评分以為是09年開邊記錄隻是11年的年初。600多頁,慢慢啃瞭這麼多年,直到今天在地鐵上翻完最後一頁。 彆人的經曆都很精彩,尤其是本書前麵的幾個,大概作者故意的吧,吸引彆人的眼球。中間一些說實話索然無味,最後的大神沒爆料幾個故事甚是可惜。
评分這種書我應該不會再看瞭。
评分真的有人會有興趣把600多頁的訪談錄讀完嗎?看瞭一半,50年後的編程確實不一樣瞭。Joshua Bloch對API設計的看法比較對胃口。
