Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "Programmers at Work does for budding software writers what the Paris Review interviews did for would-be fiction writers. It provides comfort, inspiration, and a sense of community with those who have already succeeded in the fieldit is not to be missed. - Erik Sandberg-Diment, The New York TimesThey had 64 kilobytes. They built the world. At the outset of personal computing, the engineers who invented it had almost nothing to work with and used that nothing to create everything. Programmers at Work 40th Anniversary Edition brings together landmark interviews with nineteen of the most influential software architects who ever lived: Charles Simonyi, who shaped modern productivity software at Microsoft; Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston, who invented the spreadsheet; Andy Hertzfeld, who conjured the original Macintosh and fifteen more who wrote the code that changed how humanity thinks, works, and creates. These interviews are not just retrospectives. They are primary sources candid, technical, alive capturing how these minds actually worked: how they designed under pressure, wrote code in memory-starved machines, and solved problems that no one had ever encountered before. Their insights are both a history of a revolutionary era and a masterclass in constraint-driven engineering. As edge computing, IoT, and robotics once again demand that developers do more with radically less, the discipline forged in the 64KB era turns out to be exactly the discipline the future requires. Complete with original program diagrams, algorithms, and code samples, Programmers at Work is the rare technical book that is also a remarkable story and the rare history book that is also a working manual. List of software architects included: Charles Simonyi, Butler Lampson, John Warnock, Gary Kildall, Bill Gates, John Page, C. Wayne Ratliff, Dan Bricklin, Bob Frankston, Jonathan Sachs, Ray Ozzie, Peter Roizen, Bob Carr, Jef Raskin, Andy Hertzfeld, Toru Iwatani, Scott Kim, Jaron Lanier, Michael Hawley Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Julie Averill, the CIO behind lululemons rapid growth from $2B to $10B shares a playbook for executives and technology leaders navigating today's AI revolution, and reveals why authentic human leadership is your competitive advantage. Every organization claims they're "doing AI," but many are just burning money on technology while ignoring the human intelligence required to make transformations stick. Julie Averill learned this the hard way while scaling lululemon from a $2 billion athletic apparel company to a $10 billion global powerhouse as their Global CIO. In Chief Impact Officer, Julie pulls back the curtain on what actually happens when you try to transform a company. This isn't a polished case study or a consultant's framework. It's the messy, honest story of leading through a pandemic, building technology teams across three continents, and discovering that the hardest part of transformation has nothing to do with the technology. As a lesbian in high tech and corporate retail, Julie learned that succeeding meant showing up as her authentic self - not despite her identity, but because of what that journey taught her about building trust. That realization allowed her to build an India Tech Hub with nearly 50% women engineers (earning NASSCOM's AI Game Changer Award), lead through a pandemic that turned every assumption about work upside down, and create the psychological safety that high-performance teams need. She discovered that influence without authority beats positional power, that vulnerability is a leadership competency, and that the professional masks that helped her climb the ladder were exactly what was holding her team back. But she also made mistakes, faced failures, and had to unlearn decades of code-switching and strategic silence. This book is for executives, technology leaders, and anyone responsible for driving change. It's for leaders tired of AI hype who want the truth: transformation requires psychological safety, not just algorithms. It demands vulnerability, not just vision. And it needs leaders who understand that culture isn't a soft skill - it's your competitive infrastructure. With practical insights from building global technology organizations at lululemon, Nordstrom, and REI, Julie delivers a blueprint for leading in the AI era that's grounded in reality, not buzzwords. Because real transformation requires human, not just artificial, intelligence. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Republished by 8080 Books in 2026 with a new introduction by the author and a new foreword written by one of the characters in the story. G. Pascal Zachary managed to get total access to the formerly unseen programming catacombs of Microsoft and has made the most of it with this riveting look inside one of the world's most fascinating corporations. He traces the tumultuous creation of Windows NT, capturing not only the technical ambition but the human drama at its core. By illuminating the passions, conflicts, and relentless drive of Dave Cutler's team, Zachary offers a rare window into a crucible where modern computing was forged. Windows NT was one of the most important pieces of software ever written for the personal computer. When Microsoft introduced Windows NT in 1993, historians took little note of it-- we thought it was just another incremental product. Now, decades later, we realize that Windows NT, along with the Intel Pentium processor introduced at the same time, transformed the place of the personal computer in the computing world. G. Pascal Zachary takes us inside Microsoft to observe the drama and creativity that brought this piece of code to life. Zachary managed to get total access to the formerly unseen programming catacombs of Microsoft and has made the most of it with this riveting look inside this fascinating technology titans. Like the software whose creation it chronicles, Zachary's book is an exercise in persistence and detail. We learn every twist and turn in the lives of the people who sacrificed family and friends to create Windows NT. We sweat over every major bug that threatens to undo the program. More than anything else, we come to appreciate what a miracle software really is: a unique blend of artistry and drudgery, mathematical order and creative chaos. Often compared favorably to the better-known digital creation story, Soul of the New Machine, Showstopper has its own fervent fans. One such admirer, the prize-winner economics writer David Warsh, insists, "I remain very enthusiastic about Showstopper, which is better than Soul of a New Machine. Zachary's unique book richly deserves a new edition." Part of the uniqueness of Zachary's software creation story: he had incredible access to the actors in this drama. He was able to interview all of the major players involved in NT development, including David Cutler, the project's lead, and Bill Gates, the CEO of Microsoft at the time. It provides real insight into the market landscape at the time, the challenges that Windows NT faced, and what it was like for regular software developers and management to laboriously crank out NT over many sleepless nights throughout a period of roughly four years.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A nostalgic, big-hearted memoir of a Hyderabad colony in the 80s90sand the unwritten code of community that became a foundation for a life of software engineering and leadership.Hyderabad Days is a tender, humorous, and deeply nostalgic memoir of childhood in 1980s90s middle-class India, told through the eyes of a boy growing up in a Panjagutta colony. With vivid storytelling and a cast of unforgettable characters from cricketing legends of the lane to sari-clad sisters who led in silence this collection of slice-of-life chapters paints a world of shared TVs, Gold Spot bottles, kirana-store diplomacy, and friendships that defied caste, class, and religion. But this is more than just a return to dusty lanes and colony cricket. It is also the story of how those chaotic, joy-soaked years forged the instincts of an engineer and, later, the perspective of a leader. The resourcefulness of stretching ten rupees for a cricket ball became the foundation for innovation. The diplomacy of settling gully cricket disputes became a lesson in mediation. The solidarity of colony life became the bedrock of resilience and humanity that guided a career spanning global teams and glass-walled conference rooms. Written by a senior technology executive looking back on the roots that shaped both his childhood and his leadership, Hyderabad Days is a heartfelt tribute to a way of life that has all but vanished a time when childhood was local, laughter was communal, and every setback or success carried the quiet lessons of character. For fans of: R.K. Narayan, Ruskin Bond, Sudha Murty and, in its own way, The Soul of a New Machine blending nostalgia with the blueprint of how engineers and leaders are made.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This may be the first true AI-era self-help book--not because we need help using technology, but because we need help using it well. It's about building the knowledge--and the confidence--to question, to evaluate, to choose. Because understanding how algorithms work is the first step in making sure they work for us. Human Agency in a Digital World is a book about reclaiming our role--not as passengers, but as pilots--in the fast-moving journey of technological change. Written by a computer scientist who is also a father, a teacher, and a lifelong student of how things work, this book is a deeply personal and accessible guide to the systems shaping our lives--and how we might shape them back. We are surrounded by digital agents. They suggest the next song, answer our questions, sort our emails, recommend what to watch, and--often invisibly--shape what we think. But what do we know about them? And how much power do we really have to question, understand, or even redirect their impact? In this book, Marcus Fontoura explores the hidden architectures of modern life--from social media and search engines to cloud computing, AI, and quantum technologies--uncovering both how they work and what they mean. Drawing from decades of experience building the backbone of the internet and cloud platforms, he demystifies the core concepts that govern today's systems and offers readers a way to develop digital fluency without needing a computer science degree. But this is not just a book about machines. It's a book about people-about how we use efficiency not just to optimize for speed or cost, but to unlock creativity, opportunity, and well-being. With examples ranging from broken playlists to protein folding, and reflections that move fluidly between systems thinking and everyday life, Digital Agency asks us to consider a simple but profound question: what do we want technology to do for us, and what will we do with it in return?
