Superclass: 15 of the world’s best living programmers
================================================================================
When developers discuss who the world’s top programmer is, these names tend to come up a lot.

It seems like there are lots of programmers out there these days, and lots of really good programmers. But which one is the very best?
Even though there’s no way to really say who the best living programmer is, that hasn’t stopped developers from frequently kicking the topic around. ITworld has solicited input and scoured coder discussion forums to see if there was any consensus. As it turned out, a handful of names did frequently get mentioned in these discussions.
Use the arrows above to read about 15 people commonly cited as the world’s best living programmer.

### Margaret Hamilton ###
**Main claim to fame: The brains behind Apollo’s flight control software**
Credentials: As the Director of the Software Engineering Division at Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, she headed up the team which [designed and built][3] the on-board [flight control software for NASA’s Apollo][4] and Skylab missions. Based on her Apollo work, she later developed the [Universal Systems Language][5] and [Development Before the Fact][6] paradigm. Pioneered the concepts of [asynchronous software, priority scheduling, and ultra-reliable software design][7]. Coined the term “[software engineering][8].” Winner of the [Augusta Ada Lovelace Award][9] in 1986 and [NASA’s Exceptional Space Act Award in 2003][10].
Quotes: “Hamilton invented testing , she pretty much formalised Computer Engineering in the US.” [ford_beeblebrox][11]
“I think before her (and without disrespect including Knuth) computer programming was (and to an extent remains) a branch of mathematics. However a flight control system for a spacecraft clearly moves programming into a different paradigm.” [Dan Allen][12]
“... she originated the term ‘software engineering’ — and offered a great example of how to do it.” [David Hamilton][13]
“What a badass” [Drukered][14]

教父们: 15位举世瞩目的程序员
================================================================================
当开发人员讨论关于世界顶级程序员时，这些名字往往就会出现。

好像现在程序员有很多，其中不乏有许多优秀的程序员。但是期中哪些程序员更好呢？
虽然这很难客观评价，不过在这个话题确实是开发者们乐于津道的。ITworld针对程序员社区的输入和刷新试图找出可能存在的所谓共识。事实证明，屈指可数的某些名字经常是讨论的焦点。
Use the arrows above to read about 15 people commonly cited as the world’s best living programmer.下面就让我们来看看这些世界顶级的程序员吧！（没有箭头呢:P）
