商品描述

Description:

Ted Lewis delivers a first-hand account of the changing computer industry, a story of Microsoft and the Silicon Valley. Lewis maps the history of computing from 1990 to 2000, a tale of greed and emotion in the fastest growing, mainline industry of the world. In this compilation of columns from Computer, IEEE Internet Computing, and Scientific American, Lewis tries to predict and explain the chaos of Silicon Valley.

This book reports the author's personal history through the early 1990's to the end of the decade. These stories often try to predict or explain the chaos of Silicon Valley. Lewis analyzes the high-technology industry and its constant change amid turmoil and upheaval. He also examines the art of software development and deals with innovation and the emergence of a techno-society. The book does not promise any answers, but rather concludes this short journey into the recent past with a number of provoking ideas about the future of hi-tech.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

描述:
Ted Lewis提供了一個關於變化中的電腦產業的第一手資料,這是一個關於微軟和矽谷的故事。Lewis從1990年到2000年的計算歷史進行了繪製,這是一個關於世界上增長最快的主要行業中的貪婪和情感的故事。在這本從《計算機》、IEEE互聯網計算和《科學美國人》的專欄中編輯的書中,Lewis試圖預測和解釋矽谷的混亂。

這本書報告了作者在20世紀90年代初到十年結束時的個人歷史。這些故事通常試圖預測或解釋矽谷的混亂。Lewis分析了高科技行業及其在動盪和動亂中的不斷變化。他還探討了軟件開發的藝術,並處理了創新和技術社會的出現。這本書並不承諾任何答案,而是以一些關於高科技未來的引人思考的想法來結束這段對近期過去的短暫旅程。
