fogus: 10 Technical Papers Every Programmer Should Read (At Least Twice):

this is the second entry in a series on programmer enrichment

Inspired by a fabulous post by Michael Feathers along a similar vein, I’ve composed this post as a sequel to the original. That is, while I agree almost wholly with Mr. Feather’s¹ choices, I tend to think that his choices are design-oriented² and/or philosophical. In no way, do I disparage that approach, instead I think that there is room for another list that is more technical in nature, but the question remains, where to go next? In this post I will offer some guidance based on my own readings. The papers chosen herein are not intended to act as a C.S. hall of fame, but instead hope to accomplish the following:

• All papers are freely available online (i.e. not pay-walled)
• They are technical (at times highly so)
• They cover a wide-range of topics
• The form the basis of knowledge that every great programmer should know, and may already

Evolutionary architecture and emergent design: Investigating architecture and design

Evolutionary architecture and emergent design: Investigating architecture and design: "Summary: Software architecture and design generate a lot of conversational heat but not much light. To start a new conversation about alternative ways to think about them, this article launches the Evolutionary architecture and emergent design series. Evolutionary architecture and emergent design are agile techniques for deferring important decisions until the last responsible moment. In this introductory installment, series author Neal Ford defines architecture and design and then identifies overarching concerns that will arise throughout the series."

High Scalability - How Will DIDO Wireless Networking Change Everything?

High Scalability - How Will DIDO Wireless Networking Change Everything?: "A conjunction of a few new technologies may trigger disruptive changes in the future. This observation was prompted by a talk Steve Perlman gave at the Columbia Engineering School: Benjamin Button, Cloud Everything and Why Shannon's Law Isn't. In it he covers a set of technologies that at first may seem unrelated, but turn out to be deeply related after all, culminating in a realization of the long talked about vision of an application utility, where all applications are hosted and run out of the cloud.

The LMAX Architecture

The LMAX Architecture: "LMAX is a new retail financial trading platform. As a result it has to process many trades with low latency. The system is built on the JVM platform and centers on a Business Logic Processor that can handle 6 million orders per second on a single thread. The Business Logic Processor runs entirely in-memory using event sourcing. The Business Logic Processor is surrounded by Disruptors - a concurrency component that implements a network of queues that operate without needing locks. During the design process the team concluded that recent directions in high-performance concurrency models using queues are fundamentally at odds with modern CPU design."

Garden Shed Plans - How to Build a Shed - Popular Mechanics: "If you're like most homeowners, you know that there's no such thing as enough storage space. There's a limit, after all, to the things you can squirrel away in your basement and garage. What you really need is a garden shed--one large enough to house an arsenal of outdoor power tools while providing organized space for everything from rakes and shovels to fertilizer and fuel."

All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace on Vimeo

All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace on Vimeo: "A series of films about how humans have been colonised by the machines they have built. Although we don't realise it, the way we see everything in the world today is through the eyes of the computers.
This is the story of the dream that rose up in the 1990s that computers could create a new kind of stable world. They would bring about a new kind global capitalism free of all risk and without the boom and bust of the past. They would also abolish political power and create a new kind of democracy through the internet where millions of individuals would be connected as nodes in cybernetic systems - without hierarchy."
