“Reading this book has filled a gap in my education.I feel a sense of completion, understand that UNIX is really a style ofcommunity. Now I get it, at least I get it one level deeper than I everdid before. This book came at a perfect moment for me, a moment when Ishifted from visualizing programs as things to programs as the shadowscast by communities. From this perspective, Eric makes UNIX makeperfect sense.”
-Kent Beck, author of Extreme Programming Explained, Test Driven Development, and Contributing to Eclipse

“A delightful, fascinating read, and the lessons in problem-solvng are essential to every programmer, on any OS.”
-Bruce Eckel, author of Thinking in Java and Thinking in C++

In this book, five years in the making, the authorencapsulates three decades of unwritten, hard-won software engineeringwisdom. Raymond brings together for the first time the philosophy,design patterns, tools, culture, and traditions that make UNIX home tothe world's best and most innovative software, and shows how these arecarried forward in Linux and today's open-source movement. Usingexamples from leading open-source projects, he shows UNIX and Linuxprogrammers how to apply this wisdom in building software that's moreelegant, more portable, more reusable, and longer-lived.

Raymond incorporates commentary from thirteen UNIX pioneers:



Ken Thompson, the inventor of UNIX.
