| Hackers & Painters: Essays on the Art of Programming by Paul Graham, ISBN 0596006624, 225 pages, £11.16 | |
Eric S. Raymond, author of The Cathedral and the Bazaar, writes in the foreword to Hackers & Painters: "Paul's writing is, as you'll soon learn from the rest of this book, wonderfully lucid stuff.
