Summary

The Art of UNIX Programming poses the belief that understanding the unwritten UNIX engineering tradition and mastering its design patterns will help programmers of all stripes to become better programmers. This book attempts to capture the engineering wisdom and design philosophy of the UNIX, Linux, and Open Source software development community as it has evolved over the past three decades, and as it is applied today by the most experienced programmers.

Eric Raymond offers the next generation of “hackers” the unique opportunity to learn the connection between UNIX philosophy and practice through careful case studies of the very best UNIX/Linux programs. In addition, commentary is provided by Brian Kernighan, UNIX pioneer and best-selling author; Doug McIlroy, the inventor of the UNIX pipg; David Korn, the inventor of the korn shell; Jim Gettys and Keith Packard, inventors of X windows; Henry Spencer, an original UNIX hacker; and Ken Arnold, an original BSD developer and JINI creator; Mike Lesk, author of the legendary uucp, lex, and tbl programs; and Sturat Feldman, author of UNIX's famous make utility.

The book is divided into 4 parts. Part I explores the philosophy behind the development of UNIX. Part II explores design principles and patterns that are at the core of the UNIX tradition. Part III covers the rich UNIX tradition of reuse and the amazing variety of programming tools available to the UNIX developer. Part IV explores the UNIX open standards process, and the advantage in portability that UNIX enjoys.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《UNIX程式設計的藝術》提出了一個觀點,即了解未寫下的UNIX工程傳統並掌握其設計模式將有助於各種程式設計師成為更好的程式設計師。本書試圖捕捉UNIX、Linux和開源軟體開發社群在過去三十年中演變的工程智慧和設計哲學,以及最有經驗的程式設計師如何應用這些智慧和哲學。

埃里克·雷蒙德(Eric Raymond)為下一代「駭客」提供了一個獨特的機會,通過仔細研究最優秀的UNIX/Linux程式,學習UNIX哲學和實踐之間的聯繫。此外,還有UNIX先驅和暢銷作家布萊恩·克尼漢(Brian Kernighan)、UNIX管道發明者道格·麥克羅伊(Doug McIlroy)、korn shell發明者大衛·科恩(David Korn)、X windows發明者吉姆·蓋蒂斯(Jim Gettys)和基思·帕卡德(Keith Packard)、原始UNIX駭客亨利·斯賓塞(Henry Spencer)、原始BSD開發者和JINI創建者肯·阿諾德(Ken Arnold)、傳奇uucp、lex和tbl程式的作者邁克·萊斯克(Mike Lesk)以及UNIX著名make工具的作者斯圖爾特·費爾德曼(Sturat Feldman)提供評論。

本書分為四個部分。第一部分探討了UNIX開發背後的哲學。第二部分探討了UNIX傳統核心的設計原則和模式。第三部分介紹了UNIX開發者可用的豐富的重用傳統和各種編程工具。第四部分探討了UNIX開放標準過程以及UNIX在可移植性方面的優勢。
