A good book that you can't miss-the story of "amazing" NT

There have been a lot of things recently, so it is rare to wait for a while to read the book and not pay special attention to the new book market for a long time! The first time I saw this book that day, I was first shocked by the name. After a while, I responded. It turned out to be "Show Stopper!". So I did not hesitate to place an order.
This is definitely a book that will resonate with you (if you are a programmer or now! After reading a few chapters, I realized that I have been expecting this book for many years. In the past 03 years, the Borland legend fascinated me and read it several times, I recommend the book to people around me more than once. For the new generation of programmers like me who have not completely experienced the revolution from Dos to Windows, the history seems to be far away (in fact less than a few years) and mysterious, borland just fills this gap. Now I think it's really a love book! I vaguely remember that every time I read that book, I was very much looking forward to it: "If I could have a book that describes the details of Windows development history like Borland !". For the vast majority of application developers, there may be limited opportunities to truly reach the bottom layer of Windows in actual work, and Microsoft programmers always feel amazing, how did they create a huge foundation for all Windows applications (Windows platform) from scratch? Sometimes you can't think about this achievement! This book fills in the gaps left by Borland, or it should be more reasonable to say that Borland fills show stopper! Blank, after all, the English version of this book has been published for 15 years. Today, I have seen it, and I feel a bit ignorant before! If you know it in, you must have studied it! Later, there will certainly be fewer detours in program life!

This book mainly talks about the process of NT from nothing, not involving too many technical details. It is more about the creators of NT, their present and past, and some future! This is definitely not a professional technical book, but a memoir of the best batch of programmers in history. From them, we should be able to learn a lot about work, life, people, and work. In fact, NT is a great product without doubt, but without these great programmers, there may be no NT, no great Microsoft Company, or no NT, at least not so early! As a programmer and a programmer who wants to make a career, we should all reject mediocrity. From this book, we should be able to find some commonalities in the life of programs:
First, if you do not start your own business, you should find a great company. Only a great company can make great products. Of course, there are many great companies in the world, not necessarily only Microsoft;
Second, in the NT team, it can be described as a talented person. The answer is how to become an extraordinary career in such an environment. As a good programmer, the ability to independently solve the "amazing" problem is very important. At the crucial moment, no one is reliable and we only have ourselves. Therefore, we should cultivate and exercise our independent viability at all times;
Finally, even a great company is in chaos, just like when the NT team was first founded, and the preview version was released, it was stuck in a tense and chaotic environment, at the beginning, when new Members did not know what to do, it was a mess. It could be said that the process of NT innovation from nothing was really painful and had to go through all kinds of hardships. Therefore, a good programmer is required. He cannot be impetuous and cannot be disturbed by people and things around him. At any time, as long as he tries to improve himself, things will always develop in the right direction, sometimes only our beliefs can push us forward;

Because it is a Chinese translation, everyone may be very concerned about the quality of translation! For the first time I read this book, I would like to pay tribute to the author of "software debugging" and the major translator of this book. The quality of translation is very high, and there is very little room for improvement, to be honest, it is really difficult to translate the original text of this book to accurately convey its artistic conception.

In fact, there are far more insights than that. Let's read books. If you are still young, I really envy you for reading such a good book so early. Don't hesitate, buy, grab, and read it! There are not many times to read, and there will certainly be more gains to read three times!
