今天（噢，应该是昨天了）图灵在北京搞了一次Ajax群英会，盛况空前。（会议实况下周整理一下，贴过来吧。）其间《Erlang程序设计》的赵东炜说到读论文的重要性。我还附和说，其实许多名家在讲治学的时候都会讲到，要读自己领域里最经典的和最重要的论文。

很巧，刚才从Reddit上看到了题为“10 Papers Every Programmer Should Read (At Least Twice) ”的文章，打开链接一看，是我们《修改代码的艺术》一书的作者Michael Feathers写的。他的那本书被称为“近十年来最有影响的计算机图书”之一，可是在国内的关注并不太够，这是为什么呢？

言归正传，看看是哪10篇论文入了Feathers大师的法眼吧：

[On the criteria to be used in decomposing systems into modules][] – David Parnas  
[A Note On Distributed Computing][] – Jim Waldo, Geoff Wyant, Ann Wollrath, Sam Kendall  
[The Next 700 Programming Languages][] – P. J. Landin  
[Can Programming Be Liberated from the von Neumann Style?][Can Programming Be Liberated from the von Neumann Style] – John Backus  
[Reflections on Trusting Trust][] – Ken Thompson  
[Lisp: Good News, Bad News, How to Win Big][Lisp_ Good News_ Bad News_ How to Win Big] – Richard Gabriel  
[An experimental evaluation of the assumption of independence in multiversion programming][] – John Knight and Nancy Leveson  
[Arguments and Results][] – James Noble  
[A Laboratory For Teaching Object-Oriented Thinking][] – Kent Beck, Ward Cunningham  
[Programming as an Experience: the inspiration for Self][Programming as an Experience_ the inspiration for Self] – David Ungar, Randall B. Smith  
这里面文章的作者大牛如云啊，图灵奖得主、IEEE和ACM的Fellow。当然，还有Beck和Cunningham这样的实干家（没有听说过？面壁十天。XP、设计模式、重构、JUnit甚至Wiki都是他们搞出来的啊。）

Feathers的文章里还有这些论文的摘要，等有时间我把它们都翻译出来。

这里链接有的不能直接访问，因为它们都是学术杂志文章，不开放的。是不是因为这个，Reddit上最热的文章变成了[http://portal.acm.org][http_portal.acm.org] Should be free呢？

Feathers的文章显然成了这几天网上的热门话题，我们另外一本已经获得版权的书《SOA Patterns》（Manning，2009）的作者Arnon Rotem-Gal-Oz受他启发，写了“所有架构师都应该至少读上两遍的十篇论文”：

1. [The Byzantine Generals Problem][] (1982) by Leslie Lamport, Robert Shostak and Marshall Pease  
2. [Go To statements considered harmfull][] (1968) - by Edsger W. Dijkstra  
3. [A Note on Distributed Computing][] (1994) - by Samuel C. Kendall, Jim Waldo, Ann Wollrath and Geoff Wyant  
4. [Big Ball of Mud][] (1999) - Brian Foote and Joseph Yoder  
5. [No Silver Bullet Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering][] (1987) - Frederick P. Brooks  
6. [The Open Closed Principle][] (1996) - Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob)  
7. [IEEE1471-2000 A recommended practice for architectural description of software intensive systems][] (2000)  
8. [Harvest, Yield, and Scalable Tolerant Systems][Harvest_ Yield_ and Scalable Tolerant Systems] (1999) Armando Fox, Eric A. Brewer  
9. [An Introduction to Software Architecture][] (1993) - David Garlan and Mary Shaw  
10. [Who Needs an Architect?][Who Needs an Architect] (2003) Martin Fowler

注意到了吗，其中的第3篇是Feathers也推荐的。

更有意思的是，我们大家熟悉的Robert Martin大叔 \[也是我们图灵的作者呵呵，《敏捷软件开发》（C\#版），什么，你搞.NET的居然没有读过？面壁十天。\] 也因此写了blog。原来有位叫David的同学在Feathers的blog下说了几句不靠谱的话，把一向脾气很好的Bob大叔也激怒了。David小子说：“你咋不直接给出PDF呢？要是这些文章真的重要，应该免费读到不是？瞧你那口气，牛X得不行，真让人不爽。得了您吧。” 说实话，这口气咋让我觉得像是咱同胞呢……瀑布汗啊。

Bob大叔的回复发人深省。他说，你们知道这篇文章以及其中提到的论文有多重要吗？Feathers同学读了成百上千篇论文，然后向你介绍其中最好的10篇！人家把金砖放在你眼前，你却说太重了，我拿不动。笨蛋啊，蠢材啊！

他接着说：“我们是自食其力而且为自己的职业负责的技术人员呢，还是指望爹妈来擦屁股的小屁孩？是你，而不是别人，要为你自己的职业负责。你的老板可没有责任管这些。提升自己的职业水平不应该指望老板。你不能指望老板给你买书（如果他们真能这样当然好，但是这不是他们的义务）。老板不买，你自己买啊！老板没有责任教你学习新语言。如果他们能送你去培训当然好，但是如果他们不送，你要自己学啊！

“我非常忧虑，我们的福利文化已经制造出一大批喜欢哭兮兮娘娘腔的程序员，他们居然认为必须为有版权的文章花钱是不公平的。（什么？还要我出钱？那是老板的事儿！那是我老师的事儿！那是Michael Feathers的事儿！他们要想我成为好的程序员，可别指望我出钱去读那些文章，也别指望我在Google里搜索文章，他们最好到我的办公室格子里来，哦，上午9点到10点吧，一边轻捋我的头发，一边把文章读给我听！）

“请记住，这世界可不欠你的。老板也不欠你。Michael Feathers更不欠你。”

（沉思十分钟……）
