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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eReading this book has filled a gap in my education. I feel a sense of completion, understand that UNIX is really a style of community. Now I get it, at least I get it one level deeper than I ever did before. This book came at a perfect moment for me, a moment when I shifted from visualizing programs as things to programs as the shadows cast by communities. From this perspective, Eric makes UNIX make perfect sense.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --Kent Beck, author of \u003ci\u003eExtreme Programming Explained, Test Driven Development\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eContributing to Eclipse\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA delightful, fascinating read, and the lessons in problem-solvng are essential to every programmer, on any OS.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --Bruce Eckel, author of \u003ci\u003eThinking in Java\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Thinking in C++\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWriting better software: 30 years of UNIX development wisdom\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this book, five years in the making, the author encapsulates three decades of unwritten, hard-won software engineering wisdom. Raymond brings together for the first time the philosophy, design patterns, tools, culture, and traditions that make UNIX home to the world's best and most innovative software, and shows how these are carried forward in Linux and today's open-source movement. Using examples from leading open-source projects, he shows UNIX and Linux programmers how to apply this wisdom in building software that's more elegant, more portable, more reusable, and longer-lived.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRaymond incorporates commentary from thirteen UNIX pioneers: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eKen Thompson\u003c\/b\u003e, the inventor of UNIX.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eKen Arnold\u003c\/b\u003e, part of the group that created the 4BSD UNIX releases and co-author of \u003ci\u003eThe Java Programming Language\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSteven M.
