It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. By reading this summary, you will discover how hacking is a refined and sophisticated discipline, and how it relates to painting. You will also discover : that very often, under the glasses of the hacker and the pimply-faced nerd, badly bundled and mistreated, hides a magnificent intelligence and a rare sensitivity; the common points between pictorial composition and the art of creating code; the rudiments of the discreet and subtle art of computer programming; the keys to innovation. Behind many of the great fortunes that marked their time and continue to do so today, hackers are often hiding, in the good sense of the word, people from the world of programming, of code: Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Larry Ellison or Mark Zuckerberg. Computing is a formidable springboard for those who know how to "halt and catch fire", as IBM puts it. The code is a means of expression and determines, just like a painter, what the coder wants to reveal to the world and about himself. It is a musical and pictorial score in which its creators challenge the individual through a beautiful language composed of zeros and ones. *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!
