Peter Seibel interviews 15 of the most interesting computer programmers alive today in Coders at Work, offering a brand new companion volume to Apresss 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.
