While Linus Torvalds made a lot of good business and community decisions in building the open source community, the primary reason networking professionals and developers adopted Linux is the quality of its code and its usefulness. While Torvalds is a programming genius, he has been assisted by many other brilliant developers. I asked Torvalds and other top Linux developers which books helped them on their road to programming excellence. This is what they told me. ### By shining C +### 熠熠发光的 C Linux was developed in the 1990s, as were other fundamental open source applications. As a result, the tools and languages the developers used reflected the times, which meant a lot of C programming language. While [C is no longer as popular][1], for many established developers it was their first serious language, which is reflected in their choice of influential books. @@ -24,6 +33,7 @@ Torvalds is not the only open source developer to recommend K&R.
