The New Hacker's Dictionary

Eric S. Raymond

4.2/5 ( ratings)

This is a compendium of the slang used by computer hackers. Although it is organized in reference form, it is not a mere technical dictionary or handbook of terms; it offers the reader a guide to the hacker's world, its myths, heroes, folk epics, in-jokes, taboos and dreams. This new edition contains almost five times as many entries as its predecessor, and in addition to detailing of hacker slang , also includes some lessons in hacker jargon construction. Appendices include a selection of classic items of hacker folklore and humour, a composite portrait of J. Random Hacker assembled from the comments of over 100 respondents, and a bibliography of nontechnical works that have either influenced or described the culture.
