## Articles
- * [The Kerberos play](http://web.mit.edu/Kerberos/dialogue.html): explains why Kerberos works the way it does
- * [The Rise of Worse is Better](http://www.jwz.org/doc/worse-is-better.html): a brief description of the single coding philosophy that most influenced the design of UNIX and many related systems. The [entire article](http://web.mit.edu/geofft/Public/gabriel-on-lisp.ps), rather than just the section, is available in PostScript
- * Tim Berners-Lee's [Design Issues](http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/) section, and his piece on why [Cool URIs Don't Change](http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI)

* [How To Ask Questions The Smart Way](http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html) -- A document on asking questions in hacker communities in ways that will help you get answers. Many of its points apply to places like Zephyr, too.
- * A definition of [yak shaving](http://projects.csail.mit.edu/gsb/old-archive/gsb-archive/gsb2000-02-11.html), which you'll often find SIPB members unwisely engaging in.
- * [GNU Philosophy](http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/philosophy.html), hardline but worth reading.
- * On that note, the [GPLv3](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html) and [GPLv2](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html). Dense legal style, but also worth reading once, to understand what free software is about

* [The Cathedral and the Bazaar](http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathedral-bazaar/), by Eric Raymond: an overview of closed-source ("cathedral") vs. open-source ("bazaar") design and participation philosophies
* [Why Nerds are Unpopular](http://www.paulgraham.com/nerds.html), by Paul Graham
- * [How Athena Works](http://web.mit.edu/ghudson/info/athena), by Greg Hudson, longtime Athena engineer and SIPB member. Note that sections 5 through 11 don't really apply any more.
- * [The e-mail threading algorithm](http://www.jwz.org/doc/threading.html), by Jamie Zawinski (jwz), old Netscape hacker. Interesting not only for the algorithm per se, but for his description of the process leading to its development, and his [lost argument with Netscape 4's engineers](http://www.jwz.org/doc/mailsum.html) against replacing the algorithm with something overengineered
- * [HOWTO Encourage Women in Linux](http://valerieaurora.org/howto.html), by Valerie Aurora, a Linux kernel hacker.
- * [The Unix Time-Sharing System](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.33.1204&rep=rep1&type=pdf), by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson. From 1974, but still almost entirely accurate. Sections 3, 5, and 6 are particularly good

* Eric Raymond, [The Art of Unix Programming](http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/html/index.html): also explains a lot of design
* Mark Pilgrim, [Dive Into Python](http://diveintopython.org/): "a Python book for experienced programmers"
* Eric Raymond, ed., [The Jargon File](http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/): a lot of hacker terminology and lore, plus quite a few interesting articles near the beginning.
- * Not a book, but D. J. Bernstein's [course notes from MCS 494, UNIX Security Holes](http://cr.yp.to/2004-494.html) are worth working through. At the least, any programmer who expects other people to run his or her code needs to be able to pass the final exam.
