商品描述

THE PERFECT GIFT - Whether you love the computer world the way it is, or consider it a nightmare honkytonk prison, you'll giggle and rage at Ted Nelson's telling of computer history, its personalities and infights. Computer movies, music, 3D; the eternal fight between Jobs and Gates; the tangled stories of the Internet and the World Wide Web; all these and more are punchily told in brief chapters on many topics such as The Web Browser Salad, Voting Machines, Google, Web 2.0 and much more. These short stories make great reading - it's a book to dip in and out of. You'll find answers to such questions as # ""Why do alphabets have upper case, why not numbers?"" # ""Why does everything have to be hierarchical on computers? That's not how *my* projects are organized!"" ""Where did WYSIWYG come from?"" The answer will surprise you. Plus, you'll find out why the author, a well-known computer veteran, hopes it can all become much better.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

完美的禮物 - 無論你是喜歡電腦世界的現狀,還是將其視為一個噩夢般的監獄,你都會在泰德·納爾遜對電腦歷史、其個性和內鬥的描述中發出咯咯笑聲和憤怒。電腦電影、音樂、3D;喬布斯和蓋茨之間的永恆鬥爭;互聯網和萬維網的錯綜複雜的故事;所有這些以及更多都在許多主題的簡短章節中生動地講述,例如《網頁瀏覽器沙拉》、《投票機》、《谷歌》、《網頁2.0》等等。這些短篇故事非常適合閱讀 - 這是一本可以隨時翻閱的書。你將找到對以下問題的答案:#「為什麼字母有大寫字母,為什麼沒有數字?」#「為什麼在電腦上一切都必須是分層的?這不是我組織項目的方式!」「所謂的所見即所得從何而來?」答案會讓你驚訝。此外,你將了解到為什麼這位著名的電腦老手希望一切都能變得更好。
