A coffee- table book for nerdsPar Dr. Bojan TunguzMacintosh computer is the most iconic computer of all time, and probably one of the most significant consumer electronics products ever. The successors of the original have remained aspirational products ever since, and Mac fans are oftentimes known for their cult-like admiration for their computers. One name that immediately comes to mind when Mac is mentioned is that of , Apple cofounder and a mercurial and controversial visionary that has shaped Apple products for the most of company's history. However, Jobs is a strange bird - a head of a technology company without any concrete technological skills. The bulk of the work on the original Apple computer was done by the other company cofounder () and the team that actually built Mac was composed of largely unknown engineers and technicians who worked on the computer over many years with the utmost passion and dedication. This book is a tribute to that creative and dedicated team. It is written in a form of many anecdotes of crucial events and developments in the process of creating the first Mac. Most of the stories are told from the point of view of Andy Hertzfeld, but there are numerous contributions by other team members as well. The book is filled with images of old hand-written designing notes, pictures of the team members, various Polaroid screen-shots of the development of Mac's GUI, and many, many more moments that elicit a form of nostalgia for those early days of the computer industry. The whole book is in fact a tribute to those more innocent days when idealism was a much more potent motivator than money and stock options. It also paints a picture of Silicon Valley when it was possible for young fresh-out-of-college engineers to find meaningful work and live in places like Palo Alto. Whether you are a Mac fan or someone with a curiosity about the first-hand accounts of the early personal computer industry, you will find a lot in this book to keep you interested. It's a homage to the real nerd inside of all of us.1 internautes sur 1 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile. Pour les geeks, mais pas seulementPar Cyril G., 46 ans, 3 enfantsJ'avais déjà lu le site sur lequel Andy avait collecté les histoires qui font cette grande histoire.J'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à les relire sous cette forme plus organisée. Il y à plus de liaisons, même si ce n'est pas encore un roman, mais reste une collecte de saynètes, d'anecdotes et de réflexions sur ceux qui ont créé cette révolution qu'est le Mac.Beaucoup plus intéressant à lire aussi pour découvrir la personnalité de Steve Jobs que le navet d'Isaacson.1 internautes sur 1 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile. A must !Par xaviercUn livre que je recommandeComprendre une partie de la révolution MacintoshLa dream Team ...Un seul mot: un must

Présentation de l'éditeurThere was a time, not too long ago, when the typewriter and notebook ruled, and the computer as an everyday tool was simply a vision. Revolution in the Valley traces this vision back to its earliest roots: the hallways and backrooms of Apple, where the groundbreaking Macintosh computer was born. The book traces the development of the Macintosh, from its inception as an underground skunkworks project in 1979 to its triumphant introduction in 1984 and beyond.The stories in Revolution in the Valley come on extremely good authority. That's because author Andy Hertzfeld was a core member of the team that built the Macintosh system software, and a key creator of the Mac's radically new user interface software. One of the chosen few who worked with the mercurial Steve Jobs, you might call him the ultimate insider.When Revolution in the Valley begins, Hertzfeld is working on Apple's first attempt at a low-cost, consumer-oriented computer: the Apple II. He sees that Steve Jobs is luring some of the company's most brilliant innovators to work on a tiny research effort the Macintosh. Hertzfeld manages to make his way onto the Macintosh research team, and the rest is history.Through lavish illustrations, period photos, and Hertzfeld's vivid first-hand accounts, Revolution in the Valley reveals what it was like to be there at the birth of the personal computer revolution. The story comes to life through the book's portrait of the talented and often eccentric characters who made up the Macintosh team. Now, over 20 years later, millions of people are benefiting from the technical achievements of this determined and brilliant group of people.Présentation de l'éditeurThere was a time, not too long ago, when the typewriter and notebook ruled, and the computer as an everyday tool was simply a vision.
