Success in today's IT environment requires you to view your career as a business endeavor. In this book, you'll learn how to become an entrepreneur, driving your career in the direction of your choosing. You'll learn how to build your software development career step by step, following the same path that you would follow if you were building, marketing, and selling a product. After all, your skills themselves are a product. The choices you make about which technologies to focus on and which business domains to master have at least as much impact on your success as your technical knowledge itself; don't let those choices be accidental. We'll walk through all aspects of the decision-making process, so you can ensure that you're investing your time and energy in the right areas. You'll develop a structured plan for keeping your mind engaged and your skills fresh. You'll learn how to assess your skills in terms of where they fit on the value chain, driving you away from commodity skills and toward those that are in high demand. Through a mix of high-level, thought-provoking essays and tactical 'Act on It' sections, you will come away with concrete plans you can put into action immediately. You'll also get a chance to read the perspectives of several highly successful members of our industry from a variety of career paths. As with any product or service, if nobody knows what you're selling, nobody will buy. We'll walk through the often-neglected world of marketing, and you'll create a plan to market yourself both inside your company and to the industry in general. Above all, you'll see how you can set the direction of your career, leading to a more fulfilling and remarkable professional life.

随着信息技术的广泛应用，系统需要处理的数据量越来越大，企业级软件开发已经渐成主流，而开发人员面临的困难与挑战也是显而易见的。更糟糕的是，这一领域的资料一直非常缺乏。 本书是软件开发大师Martin Fowler的代表作，采用模式的形式系统总结了业界多年积累的经验，被称为“企业级应用开发领域的圣经”，出版以来一直畅销不衰，至今仍然无可替代。作 者在精彩地阐述了企业应用开发和设计中的核心原则基础上，详细、生动地讲述了51个模式并给出主流平台（Java和.NET）中的应用实例，更分析了许多 相似模式之间的差异，提供了具体运用和选择这些模式的大量经验之谈，使你不仅知其然，更知其所以然。 这是一部软件开发领域不朽的经典，任何一位真正的软件开发人员都不可错过。

《大教堂与市集》（The Cathedral and the Bazaar）是埃里克·斯蒂芬·雷蒙（Eric Steven Raymond）所撰写的软件工程方法论。以Linux的核心开发过程以及作者自己主持开发的开放原始码软件──Fetchmail为讨论案例。文章在1997年5月27日发表，并在1999年出版成书。 本书讨论两种不同的自由软件开发模式︰ 大教堂模式（The Cathedral model）︰原始码在本模式是公开的，但在软件的每个版本开发过程是由一个专属的团队所控管的。作者以GNU Emacs及GCC这两软件为例。 市集模式（The Bazaar model）︰原始码在本模式也是公开的，不过却是放在因特网上供人检视及开发。作者以Linux核心的创始者林纳斯·托瓦兹带领Linux核心的开发为例，亦引用fetchmail的开发为例。 这篇文章的要义是让够多人看到原始码，错误将无所遁形（Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow）。作者表示大教堂模式的软件开发让程序除错的时间大幅增加，因为只有少数的开发者可参与修改工作。市集模式则相反。 此文让大部份的开放原始码及自由软件的开发计划采用市集模式，甚至原来采用大教堂模式的 GNC Emacs 及 GCC 也是如此。Netscape 网页浏览器后来释出原始码，并启动Mozilla计划，也或多或少受到这篇文章的启发。 大教堂与市集也被延伸到非电脑软件的开发上面。例如维基百科就是市集模式，而Nupedia与大英百科全书就是大教堂模式。 欧莱礼出版社于1999年发行此书的创举是，首次商业印刷出版的书以Creative Commons授权模式出版。 本书（原文）的国际标准书号是 ISBN 1565927249（精装本）、ISBN 0596001088（平装本）。

Lisp is a uniquely powerful programming language that, despite its academic reputation, is actually very practical. Land of Lisp brings the language into the real world, teaching Lisp by showing readers how to write several complete Lisp-based games, including a text adventure, an evolution simulation, and a robot battle. While building these games, readers learn the core concepts of Lisp programming, such as data types, recursion, input/output, object-oriented programming, and macros. And thanks to the power of Lisp, the code is short. Rather than bogging things down with reference information that is easily found online, Land of Lisp focuses on using Lisp for real programming. The book is filled with the author Conrad Barski's famous Lisp cartoons, featuring the Lisp alien and other zany characters.

Software developers face an ever-changing and ever-expanding technology landscape, which can appear as intimidating as Mt. Everest to newcomers. Developing technical skills is vital, but there are dozens of soft skills and learning techniques you need if you're to grow and succeed professionally. Honing those soft skills is a big part of what "Apprenticeship Patterns" is all about. Authors Dave Hoover and Adewale Oshineye, both formerly of the global IT consultancy ThoughtWorks, have cataloged dozens of patterns of behavior to help software developers hone their craft. Developed through years of research, a multitude of interviews, and feedback from O'Reilly's online forum, these patterns address difficult situations faced by entry-level programmers, system administrators, and database administrators. Each pattern has a memorable name to help point you in the right direction when you need it most. Examples of common obstacles and their solutions include: burned out at work? - learn how to 'Nurture Your Passion' by finding a pet project to help you rediscover the joy of problem solving; feeling overwhelmed by too much new information? - take a step back from your learning to re-explore some familiar territory by building something you've built before, then use 'Retreat Into Competence' to launch yourself forward again ; and, feeling stuck in your learning? - seek out a team of experienced and talented developers where you can 'Be the Worst' for a while Like any patterns book, you can read this one front-to-back, jump to specific patterns when you encounter the issues they address, or cherry pick just the ones that are new to you. The purpose of the solutions is to inspire you to stay on the path you intend, rather than wander off into management because it seems like the only option for advancement. "Apprenticeship Patterns" approaches software development not as a means to financial success, but as a means to personal fulfillment. It's your life and your career. Discover how this book can help you make the best of both.
