I Sing the Body Electronic: Year with Microsoft on the Multimedia Frontier - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

1995 sees the launch of "Explorapedia", a children's encyclopedia on CD-ROM. Journalist Fred Moody spent a year with the designers and shared the exhilaration and frustration characteristic of Bill Gates' empire. Microsoft's Seattle campus is a place rich in improvization and psychological pressure, where workers keep their own hours and often work through the night. From the executive suite to the lesser management, Microsoft's extraordinary corporate culture advocates unsupervized teamwork and total creative freedom. This book describes many colourful characters and their interactions while explaining technological concepts in an accessible and revelatory way.
