Ken Kocienda was a software engineer and designer at Apple for over fifteen years. After graduating from Yale, he fixed motorcycles, worked in the editorial library of a newspaper, taught English in Japan, and made fine art photographs. Eventually, he discovered the internet, taught himself computer programming, and made his way through a succession of dot-com-era startups, before landing at Apple in 2001, where he worked on the software teams that created the Safari web browser, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Ken lives in San Jose, California with his wife.
Hundreds of millions of people use Apple products every day; several thousand work on Apple's campus in Cupertino, California; but only a handful sit at the drawing board. Creative Selection recounts the life of one of the few who worked behind the scenes, a highly-respected software engineer who worked in the final years of the Steve Jobs era―the Golden Age of Apple.
Ken Kocienda offers an inside look at Apple’s creative process. For fifteen years, he was on the ground floor of the company as a specialist, directly responsible for experimenting with novel user interface concepts and writing powerful, easy-to-use software for products including the iPhone, the iPad, and the Safari web browser. His stories explain the symbiotic relationship between software and product development for those who have never dreamed of programming a computer, and reveal what it was like to work on the cutting edge of technology at one of the world's most admired companies.
Kocienda shares moments of struggle and success, crisis and collaboration, illuminating each with lessons learned over his Apple career. He introduces the essential elements of innovation―inspiration, collaboration, craft, diligence, decisiveness, taste, and empathy―and uses these as a lens through which to understand productive work culture.
An insider's tale of creativity and innovation at Apple, Creative Selection shows readers how a small group of people developed an evolutionary design model, and how they used this methodology to make groundbreaking and intuitive software which countless millions use every day.
##這本書的作者是初代iPhone、iPad虛擬鍵盤程序的設計、開發人員,更早之前還為Mac開發瞭Safari。書中圍繞他所接觸的項目提齣概念,進行演示,通過演示收到反饋,從反饋中精進産品,再完成演示。這一套方法論印證瞭我之前半年所經曆,看到這些描述感覺很親切。 我喜歡這書的原因是作者以及書中故事所涉及的人物。 本書作者是一名程序員。書裏敘述的是他在蘋果公司供職期間經曆的幾個重大項目的開發故事。此哥們不僅僅有程序員的手藝,從行文中就可以看齣來。這老哥知道哲學,在書中談到康德的判斷力批判critique of judgement分析議論軟...

評分##這哥們講故事能力一流啊。書裏很多關於喬布斯時代軟件産品開發的細節,挺羨慕他們那種小團隊的閤作方式。
