I'm a long time techie based in Raleigh, North Carolina (USA) who has been programming professionally (e.g. getting paid for it) since I was in my teens. I'm an IBM Fellow and Vice President, and the CTO for the IBM CIO Office. I'm a book author (10 so far, working on the 11th) of books on Cloud, Patterns, Object Oriented Programming and various and sundry of IBM's software products. I've written papers and articles for a variety of venues (commercial and academic) over the last 30 years.

what book influenced your direction in computing the most? Not game, application, operating system: an actual book?

Here's mine, AN Walker's The Unix Environment, which introduced me to the Unix Way.

@karabaic @bookstodon for me it was Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software. Thirty years and eleven books written later and I still don’t think I’m close to having plumbed the depths of the ideas that book spawned.
