具体描述
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.

评分##很难得的一线的详尽的软件开发的背后的故事了。 查了查书里的各个名字，大部分都在 Scott 离职以后走了。写代码再猛，也要考虑时代的进程嘿。
评分##软件界的自然选择
评分##关于Keyboard和Safari设计过程的描述挺不错，两种很不同的线路。其他部分更多像是布道和大道理吧，听多了可能会吃噎着；英文原版，中间关于橄榄球的一段理解起来有些难
评分##“On the tenth of January 2007, the day after the big product introduction, I edited the autocorrection dictionary to add a new word: iPhone.”
