Coders at Work contains interviews with 16 of the most interesting computer programmers alive today, offering a brand-new companion volume to Apresss highly acclaimed Founders at Work by Jessica Livingston. Like Livingston's best-seller, Coders at Work is the continuation of a tradition of Q&A interviews that began in 1953 when novelist E. M. Forster was interviewed for the Paris Review, the first of a series of interviews later entitled "Writers at Work." As the words "at work" suggest, author Peter Seibel focuses on how his interviewees tackle the daytoday work of programming, while revealing much more, like how they became great programmers, how they recognize programming talent in others, and what kinds of problems they find most interesting.
