Description
Rebel Code: Linux And The Open Source Revolution by Glyn Moody The story of open-source software began with a small group of idealistic hackers who created something that would change the computing universe. This narrative starts at ground zero, describing how Linus Torvalds and his team managed to shake up the industry and cause a radical shift in thinking. Based on over fifty interviews with key figures, including Torvalds and Richard Stallman, Rebel Code provides a unique perspective on the creation and perfecting of open-source software. The book chronicles the drama behind one of the most significant business trends in recent memory, offering insight into the changes that cyberculture has brought to our society. A powerful and engaging tale of innovation versus big business, Rebel Code is an ideal read for anyone interested in understanding the impact of open-source software on the computing world.
