如果讓程序員們列出他們最喜歡的書籍，Jon Bentley的《編程珠璣》通常可以位于經典之列，如同珍珠來自于曾經折磨牡蠣的沙粒，程序設計的珍珠也來自曾以折磨程序員的實際問題。Bentley的珍珠建立在堅實的工程學基礎上在洞察力和創造力的王國中為那些惱人的問題提供了獨特而技巧的解決方案，通過一些精心設計的有趣而且頗具指導意義的程序，本書對眾多實用程序設計技巧及基本設計原則作了清晰而機智的描述。因此，《編程珠機》得到各個導次程序員的青睞并不讓人感覺意外。
Jon Bentley是位于新澤西州的朗讀貝爾實驗室計算機科學研究中心的技術委員會委員，自1998年就成為《Dr.DobsJournal》雜志的特約編輯。他的"編程珠機"專欄多年來一直是學術雜志《Communications of the ACM》最風行的特色專欄之一，而本書正是建立在這些專欄的基
