For software development professionals and computer science students, Modern Operating Systems gives a solid conceptual overview of operating system design, including detailed case studies of Unix/Linux and Windows 2000. What makes an operating system modern? According to author Andrew Tanenbaum, it is the awareness of high-demand computer applications--primarily in the areas of multimedia, parallel and distributed computing, and security. The development of faster and more advanced hardware has driven progress in software, including enhancements to the operating system. It is one thing to run an old operating system on current hardware, and another to effectively leverage current hardware to best serve modern software applications. If you don't believe it, install Windows 3.0 on a modern PC and try surfing the Internet or burning a CD. Readers familiar with Tanenbaum's previous text, Operating Systems, know the author is a great proponent of simple design and hands-on experimentation. His earlier book came bundled with the source code for an operating system called Minux, a simple variant of Unix and the platform used by Linus Torvalds to develop Linux. Although this book does not come with any source code, he illustrates many of his points with code fragments (C, usually with Unix system calls). The first half of Modern Operating Systems focuses on traditional operating systems concepts: processes, deadlocks, memory management, I/O, and file systems. There is nothing groundbreaking in these early chapters, but all topics are well covered, each including sections on current research and a set of student problems. It is enlightening to read Tanenbaum's explanations of the design decisions made by past operating systems gurus, including his view that additional research on the problem of deadlocks is impractical except for "keeping otherwise unemployed graph theorists off the streets." It is the second half of the book that differentiates itself from older operating systems texts. Here, each chapter describes an element of what constitutes a modern operating system--awareness of multimedia applications, multiple processors, computer networks, and a high level of security. The chapter on multimedia functionality focuses on such features as handling massive files and providing video-on-demand. Included in the discussion on multiprocessor platforms are clustered computers and distributed computing. Finally, the importance of security is discussed--a lively enumeration of the scores of ways operating systems can be vulnerable to attack, from password security to computer viruses and Internet worms. Included at the end of the book are case studies of two popular operating systems: Unix/Linux and Windows 2000. There is a bias toward the Unix/Linux approach, not surprising given the author's experience and academic bent, but this bias does not detract from Tanenbaum's analysis. Both operating systems are dissected, describing how each implements processes, file systems, memory management, and other operating system fundamentals. Tanenbaum's mantra is simple, accessible operating system design. Given that modern operating systems have extensive features, he is forced to reconcile physical size with simplicity. Toward this end, he makes frequent references to the Frederick Brooks classic The Mythical Man-Month for wisdom on managing large, complex software development projects. He finds both Windows 2000 and Unix/Linux guilty of being too complicated--with a particular skewering of Windows 2000 and its "mammoth Win32 API." A primary culprit is the attempt to make operating systems more "user-friendly," which Tanenbaum views as an excuse for bloated code. The solution is to have smart people, the smallest possible team, and well-defined interactions between various operating systems components. Future operating system design will benefit if the advice in this book is taken to heart. --Pete Ostenson --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

"The computer world is like an intellectual Wild West, in which you can shoot anyone you wish with your ideas, if you're willing to risk the consequences. " --from Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age , by Paul Graham We are living in the computer age, in a world increasingly designed and engineered by computer programmers and software designers, by people who call themselves hackers. Who are these people, what motivates them, and why should you care? Consider these facts: Everything around us is turning into computers. Your typewriter is gone, replaced by a computer. Your phone has turned into a computer. So has your camera. Soon your TV will. Your car was not only designed on computers, but has more processing power in it than a room-sized mainframe did in 1970. Letters, encyclopedias, newspapers, and even your local store are being replaced by the Internet. Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age , by Paul Graham, explains this world and the motivations of the people who occupy it. In clear, thoughtful prose that draws on illuminating historical examples, Graham takes readers on an unflinching exploration into what he calls "an intellectual Wild West." The ideas discussed in this book will have a powerful and lasting impact on how we think, how we work, how we develop technology, and how we live. Topics include the importance of beauty in software design, how to make wealth, heresy and free speech, the programming language renaissance, the open-source movement, digital design, internet startups, and more.

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs has had a dramatic impact on computer science curricula over the past decade. This long-awaited revision contains changes throughout the text. There are new implementations of most of the major programming systems in the book, including the interpreters and compilers, and the authors have incorporated many small changes that reflect their experience teaching the course at MIT since the first edition was published. A new theme has been introduced that emphasizes the central role played by different approaches to dealing with time in computational models: objects with state, concurrent programming, functional programming and lazy evaluation, and nondeterministic programming. There are new example sections on higher-order procedures in graphics and on applications of stream processing in numerical programming, and many new exercises. In addition, all the programs have been reworked to run in any Scheme implementation that adheres to the IEEE standard.

This innovative text presents computer programming as a unified discipline in a way that is both practical and scientifically sound. The book focuses on techniques of lasting value and explains them precisely in terms of a simple abstract machine. The book presents all major programming paradigms in a uniform framework that shows their deep relationships and how and where to use them together. After an introduction to programming concepts, the book presents both well-known and lesser-known computation models ("programming paradigms"). Each model has its own set of techniques and each is included on the basis of its usefulness in practice. The general models include declarative programming, declarative concurrency, message-passing concurrency, explicit state, object-oriented programming, shared-state concurrency, and relational programming. Specialized models include graphical user interface programming, distributed programming, and constraint programming. Each model is based on its kernel language--a simple core language that consists of a small number of programmer- significant elements. The kernel languages are introduced progressively, adding concepts one by one, thus showing the deep relationships between different models. The kernel languages are defined precisely in terms of a simple abstract machine. Because a wide variety of languages and programming paradigms can be modeled by a small set of closely related kernel languages, this approach allows programmer and student to grasp the underlying unity of programming. The book has many program fragments and exercises, all of which can be run on the Mozart Programming System, an Open Source software package that features an interactive incremental development environment.

Some books on algorithms are rigorous but incomplete; others cover masses of material but lack rigor. Introduction to Algorithms uniquely combines rigor and comprehensiveness. The book covers a broad range of algorithms in depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. Each chapter is relatively self-contained and can be used as a unit of study. The algorithms are described in English and in a pseudocode designed to be readable by anyone who has done a little programming. The explanations have been kept elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical rigor. The first edition became a widely used text in universities worldwide as well as the standard reference for professionals. The second edition featured new chapters on the role of algorithms, probabilistic analysis and randomized algorithms, and linear programming. The third edition has been revised and updated throughout. It includes two completely new chapters, on van Emde Boas trees and multithreaded algorithms, and substantial additions to the chapter on recurrences (now called "Divide-and-Conquer"). It features improved treatment of dynamic programming and greedy algorithms and a new notion of edge-based flow in the material on flow networks. Many new exercises and problems have been added for this edition. As of the third edition, this textbook is published exclusively by the MIT Press.

当代软件技术领域最重要的著作，中文版首次出版！ 《大教堂与集市》是开源运动的《圣经》，颠覆了传统的软件开发思路，影响了整个软件开发领域。作者Eric S. Raymond是开源运动的旗手、黑客文化第一理论家，他讲述了开源运动中惊心动魄的故事，提出了大量充满智慧的观念和经过检验的知识，给所有软件开发人员带来启迪。本书囊括了作者最著名的“五部曲”，并经过作者的全面更新，增加了大量注释，提高了可读性，是经典收藏。 开源运动对软件业和互联网带来了巨大影响，本书作为开源运动的独立宣言，其影响力远远超出编程领域，如果想在互联网时代做生意，这本书是必读经典。 详细内容： 本书是开源运动的独立宣言，它清晰、透彻和准确地描述了开源运动的理论与实际应用，对开源软件运动的成功和Linux操作系统的广泛采用，都起到了至关重要的作用。 作者Eric S. Raymond是开源运动和黑客文化的元老级人物，他是INTERCAL编程语言的主要创作者之一，是Fetchmail程序的作者，并为EMACS编辑器作出过贡献。1997年以后，他成为开放源代码运动的主要理论家，以及开放源代码促进会的主要创办人之一。 作者观察到，在互联网世界里，有一种与传统软件开发模式（大教堂模式）截然不同的全新的模式：集市模式。大教堂模式是封闭的、垂直的、集中式的开发模式，反映一种由权利关系所预先控制的层级制度；而集市模式则是并行的、点对点的、动态的多人协同开发模式，开发者之间通常仅仅靠互联网联系，在这种貌似混乱而无序的开发环境中，居然产生了质量极高和极具效率与生命力的软件，产生了诸如Linux这种世界级的操作系统，这是怎么做到的呢？ 作者通过亲自实践，研究了这种模式的成功原因和主要特点，给出了19条软件开发的真知灼见，解释了黑客愿意无偿贡献自己代码的动机，研究了开源软件的经济动力和盈利机制，并预测了软件业将必然面临的根本性变革。 作者在书中对“黑客”（hacker）这一通常被误用的称呼做了正名，指出黑客并不是计算机犯罪分子，而是醉心于软件和网络的编程高手，是乐于分享和喜欢突破极限的问题解决专家、天才发明家和艺术家。对于想要成为一名黑客的读者，作者指出了黑客应具备的基本态度、黑客和骇客的本质区别、黑客应有的格调和如何掌握黑客的基本技能，作者指出：黑客文化靠声誉运转，只有当其他黑客一致称你为黑客时，你才是黑客。 本书囊括了作者被业界称为“五部曲”的核心著作：“黑客圈简史”（A Brief History of Hackerdom）、“大教堂和大集市”（The Cathedral and the Bazaar）、“如何成为一名黑客”（How To Become A Hacker）、“开拓心智层”（Homesteading the Noosphere）和“魔法锅”（The Magic Cauldron）。其中最著名的当属“大教堂和大集市”。本书在开源运动中的地位相当于基督教的《圣经》，用黑客们的话说，这是“黑客藏经阁”的第一收藏。 本书并不只是在讲开源和黑客，所有关心软件开发和IT发展的人，都应该花些时间通读全书，书中给出了大量充满智慧的观念和有趣的知识，如命令体系、礼物文化、以少成多、内部市场、竞次、反公地模型、委员会设计、同侪声誉、模因工程、SNAFU现象、进化不利条件、软件业是服务行业、组织结构决定产品结构、准入门槛越低稳定性越高、程序员是资产而非成本等，这些内容一定会给你带来新的启示和思考。
