Any Books on Inspirational  Computer Science Personalities ?
davi: Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution, by Steven Levyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers:_Heroes_of_the_Computer...http://www.amazon.com/Hackers-Computer-Revolution-Steven-Lev...Stories from early in the personal computer era.  This book inspired me greatly when I read it as a high school sophomore.  After reading it, I taught myself Pascal (that dates me -- I guess this was in 1989) and started making little drawing programs on our old Fat Mac.At this point it's an old book, but it's still in print, and the profiles in it are pretty timeless.
