Revolution In The Valley by Andy Hertzfeld
Traces the development of the Macintosh computer from its inception as an underground skunkworks project in 1979 to its introduction in 1984 and beyond. In this first-hand account, author and key Macintosh developer Andy Hertzfeld reveals what it was like to be a key player in one of the most important technical achievements.
Andy Hertzfeld was a graduate student in computer science at UC Berkeley in January 1978 when he purchased one of the first Apple IIs. He quickly lost interest in grad school as he began writing programs for his Apple II, eventually leading him to join Apple Computer as a systems programmer in August 1979. He joined the Macintosh team in February 1981, and became one of the main authors of the Macintosh system software, including the User Interface Toolbox and many of the original desk accessories. He left Apple in March 1984, and went on to co-found three companies: Radius (1986), General Magic (1990) and Eazel (1999). His latest project is web-based software for collective storytelling, which was used to originally publish the stories in this book on his Mac Folklore website (http://wwwfolklore.org)
