Working in Public: The Making and Maintenance of Open Source Software
Working in Public: The Making and Maintenance of Open Source Software

Insight into open source software's societal impact.

If you're fascinated by the intersection of technology, collaboration, and community, "Working in Public" is a treasure trove. Nadia Eghbal deftly explores how open source development isn't just coding; it's a social phenomenon with deep implications for how we connect and create in the digital age. This book might change the way you view the online platforms and software you use every day.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

An inside look at modern open source software developers—and their applications to, and influence on, our online social world. "Nadia is one of today's most nuanced thinkers about the depth and potential of online communities, and this book could not have come at a better time." —Devon Zuegel, director of product, communities at GitHub. Open source software—in which developers publish code that anyone can use—has long served as a bellwether for other online behavior.
