为什么值得读
- 深入剖析软件模式的历史与核心意义
- 不拘泥具体语言却能深化软件思维
- 借鉴建筑学理论探讨软件为何会失败
在 Patterns of Software 一书中，备受尊崇的软件先驱兼计算机科学家 Richard P. Gabriel 为我们深入剖析了软件设计、计算机编程以及围绕它们展开的商业世界。在这部涉猎广泛的著作中，Gabriel 探讨了诸多话题，例如：什么造就了一门成功的编程语言、外界如何看待并回应计算机科学家的成果、他最初是如何投身于计算机编程与软件开发的、成功软件企业的特质是什么，以及他自己的公司 Lucid 为何在1994年（即创立十年后）走向失败

……尽管我主要接触 Lisp 还是通过 Emacs Lisp——别喷我哈。有一本极好的书能帮你领会 Lisp 的核心概念，却又没有直接大谈特谈 Lisp，那就是 Peter Gabriel 写的《软件的模式》（Patterns of Software）。http://amzn.to/TxDKGG 我读完觉得特别受启发。这绝对是一本你需要留出充裕时间、找个安静地方静下心来细品的书。
…though my primary exposure has been through Emacs Lisp - so shoot me). A really great book that helps you get appreciate the concepts in Lisp, without really talking about Lisp directly too much, is "Patterns of Software" by Peter Gabriel. http://amzn.to/TxDKGG I found it to be a very enlightening read. Definitely a book you have to sink into with plenty of time and quiet.
……Young、Moti Yung 这本书在密码学层面远超我的理解水平，但它在我职业生涯早期让我深深着迷，还促使我动手实现了一两个算法。在很多方面都极具前瞻性。- 《软件的模式》- Richard Gabriel。不是直接讲计算机的，但我从中获得了很多深刻的洞见。它还把我引向了下一本书：- 《形式综合论》（Notes on the synthesis of form）- Christopher Alexander。这是……
…Young, Moti Yung This is way out of my league in terms of cryptography, but this fascinated me early in my career, and led me to implement one or the other algorithm. Very prescient in many ways. - Patterns of Software - Richard Gabriel Not directly about computing, but I got a lot of deep insights from this book. It also brought me to the next book: - Notes on the synthesis of form - Christopher Alexander This is…
……在软件中无处不在，不管我们到底叫不叫它们“模式”。游戏循环（game loops）、事件服务器（event servers）、编译器、map/filter、微内核、stdin 转换器、数组上的 for 循环，等等等等。Richard P. Gabriel 的书《软件的模式》是完全公开免费阅读的，深入探讨了模式的历史和内涵。Alexander 本人还写了篇序言，单读这篇序言就很值了。
…everywhere in software, whether we call them that or not. Game loops, event servers, compilers, map/filter, microkernels, stdin transformers, for loops over arrays, etc etc etc. Richard P. Gabriel's book Patterns of Software is freely available and goes into the history and meaning of patterns. Alexander himself wrote a preface that's worth reading on its own.
先从像布鲁克斯的《人月神话》（Mythical Man-Month）这类的“经典”开始，然后再去读 Tom DeMarco 的多部著作，还可以读读 Richard Gabriel 的《软件的模式》。讲“Chandler”项目的那本书（书名忘了）也特别值得一读。尤其是这两本，关于事情为什么会搞砸写得很有意思。接着可以去读丰田管理……
Start with the "classics" like "mystical man month" (Brooks) for example, then get many of the books by Tom de Marco and possibly read Richard Gabriel's "Patterns of Software". The book about the "Chandler" project (forgot it's title) is also a particular good read. Those two in particular are interesting reads about why things fail. Go on to reading the Toyota management…
克里斯托弗·亚历山大的书：https://archive.org/details/TheTimelessWayOfBuilding https://archive.org/details/APatternLanguage 此外，Richard Gabriel 的《软件的模式》也值得一读：http://www.dreamsongs.com/Files/PatternsOfSoftware.pdf ，他大量借鉴了亚历山大的思想。
Christopher Alexander's books: https://archive.org/details/TheTimelessWayOfBuilding https://archive.org/details/APatternLanguage It's also worth reading Patterns of Software by Richard Gabriel: http://www.dreamsongs.com/Files/PatternsOfSoftware.pdf who draws heavily on Alexander's work.
我在网上读过好几种关于“差即是好”（Worse Is Better）的不同解读，也读过 Gabriel 的《软件的模式》，总的来说我觉得这是开发实用软件的一种好办法。不过遗憾的是他没给它换个名字；这个说法坏就坏在那些懒惰或粗心的程序员老拿它当借口……
I have read several different takes on "Worse Is Better" on the Web, as well as Gabriel's book, Patterns of Software, and generally think it is a good way of developing useful software. It is too bad though that he didn't give it another name; the bad part about the phrase is how lazy or careless programmers use it…
