What is Coders at Work : Reflections on the Craft of Programming about?

is either a writer turned programmer or programmer turned writer. After picking up an undergraduate degree in English 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, and being a dad. He lives in Berkeley, California, with his wife Lily, daughter Amelia, and dog Mahlanie.First of all I want to thank my subjects who gave generously of their time and without whom this book would be nothing but a small pamphlet of unanswered questions. Additional thanks go to Joe Armstrong and Bernie Cosell, and their families, for giving me a place to stay in Stockholm and Virginia. Extra thanks also go to Peter Norvig and Jamie Zawinsk
