Gary Pollice
 
 
 
 
GaryPPollice将自己归类为臭脾气的老古董,他在业界花了35年的时间,试图成为其成长过程中想要成为的人。即使他尚未成熟,在2003年,他还是毅然决然地进入学术殿堂。在那里,他一直在摧残下一代软件开发者的心智,以近乎激进的观念,如“软件是为客户开发的;学习如何扮演团队的一分子;设计和程序的品质、优雅性及正确性都很重要;只要你是一个伟大的程序员,就算是一个程序狂也无妨。”
Gary是伍斯特理工学院(Worcester Polytechnic Institute,WPI)的实训教授(Professor of Practice,这是指成为教授之前具有实际工作的经验),他与妻子 Vikki以及两只狗 Aloysius 与 Ignatius住在马萨诸塞州中部。你可访问他在 WPI 的主页,http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~gpollice/。别客气,有关于本书的抱怨或鼓励,请尽管留言给他。Gary Pollice is a self-labeled curmudgeon (that's a crusty, ill-tempered,
usually old man) who spent over 35 years in industry trying to fi gure out
what he wanted to be when he grew up. Even though he hasn't grown up yet,
he did make the move in 2003 to the hallowed halls of academia where he
has been corrupting the minds of the next generation of software developers
with radical ideas like, "develop software for your customer, learn how to
work as part of a team, design and code quality and elegance and correctness
counts, and it's okay to be a nerd as long as you are a great one."
Gary is a Professor of Practice (meaning he had a real job before becoming a
professor) at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He lives in central Massachusetts
with his wife, Vikki, and their two dogs, Aloysius and Ignatius. You can visit
his WPI home page at http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~gpollice/. Feel free
to drop him a note and complain or cheer about the book.

Gary is a professor of practice (meaning he had a real job before becoming a

impressed with the WPI graduates that he’s worked with over the years. He lives
in central Massachusetts with his wife, Vikki, and their two dogs, Aloysius and
Ignatius. When not working on geeky things he...well he’s always working on
geeky things. You can see what he’s up to by visiting his WPI home page,
