O'Reilly supplies
| By hannes @ 12:15 | [ Developing Software ] |
2 Minutes ago, my hacking was interrupted by a guy ringing the doorbell as if his life depended on reaching me. I went down to open and *TADAA!*, it was a nice surpise indeed: A DHL guy delivering my review copy of "Hackers and Painters" by Paul Graham!
First impression: Seems well done, O'Reilly quality. The tagline "This book will force you to rethink your ideas about the nature of computer programming" sounds a bit too pompous.. but never mind :) Will start reading ASAP.

I read all the articles at paulgraham.com. Is there any unpublished stuff in the book?

There is unpublished stuff, although I rather think the articles to be found online are the slightly better ones.
You certainly agree that I should be allowed to read the book before writing a review, don't you? ;) Actually I'm almost done with it, but as I didn't like it _that_ much, it's not a top prio, you see :)
