Good books about (famous/known) programmers ?

Alan Turing[^]? Dennis Ritchie[^]? Bjarne Stroustrup[^]? I'm sorry there isn't a page yet for a programmer named, "Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan". Someday when there will be, I'd send you the link for that too. :-)

Well, it's not in book form, but there's Marc Clifton[^] and in e-book format, also by Marc Clifton: Syncfusion Free Ebooks | Web Servers Succinctly[^] Syncfusion Free Ebooks | Unit Testing Succinctly[^] Syncfusion free ebooks | Imperative to Functional Programming Succinctly[^] :rolleyes: Marc
Imperative to Functional Programming Succinctly Contributors Wanted for Higher Order Programming Project! Learning to code with python is like learning to swim with those little arm floaties. It gives you undeserved confidence and will eventually drown you. - DangerBunny
Thanks for sharing. I'm going to read that web server one as soon as I get a chance. :thumbsup:
My book, Launch Your Android App, is available at Amazon.com.

Is there a reading list of famous/known programmers or (CS) engineers or ? biographies or related ? A friend ask about some suggestions, and other than Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, I really don't have a clue. Any suggestions ? Thanks, Max.
I'd rather be phishing!

Umm, not sure what Bill Gates has personally programmed by himself except maybe QBasic and Steve Jobs didn't do programming at all. They were business people and entrepreneurs. They used to hire programmers.
it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

FAT was apparently done by him... during a flight, no less! Link left for the fun that's in the comments: I wrote FAT on an airplane, for heaven’s sake[^] Highlights: ■ "Noobies, each and every one of you. I built a NAND gate in 1924 using twigs and moss. For delay lines I used a box canyon, and moved about until the acoustic echo distribution in the time domain performed the required function. By May 1925 I had calculated Pi to almost one digit accuracy: 4." ■ "This has to be a myth. FAT predates laptops or any other computer that would reasonably be usable on an airplane. [You kids say the cutest things. -Raymond]" ■ "(I can’t believe I had to write this: This is a dramatization, not a courtroom transcript.) This “I wrote FAT on an airplane” line was apparently one Bill used when he wanted to complain that what other people was doing wasn’t Real Programming. But this time, the development manager decided she’d had enough. “Fine, Bill. We’ll set you up with a machine fully enlisted in the Windows source code, and you can help us out with some of your programming magic, why don’t you.” This shut him up."

K&R comes to mind. Best book ever crafted! The first to introduce to the world a "Hello, World" in pure C :cool:

Um, he and his mates were the ones that made "writing code in your Mother's garage, while blasting out hard rock" famous, when they wrote MSDOS* * You can skip googling the MSDOS/QDOS-86 thing. I know. And everyone here should be aware that upgrading something like QDOS-86 to become MSDOS (and to be used on different hardware, which was much more of a minefield, back then) was no small thing.
