Beautiful Code
How do the experts solve difficult problems in software development? In this unique and insightful book leading computer scientists offer case studies that reveal how they found unusual carefully designed solutions to high-profile projects You will be able to look over the shoulder of major coding and design experts to see problems through their eyes This is not simply another design patterns book or another software engineering treatise on the right and wrong way to do things The authors think aloud as they work through their project's architecture the tradeoffs made in its construction and when it was important to break rules "Beautiful Code" is an opportunity for master coders to tell their story All author royalties will be donated to Amnesty International The book includes the
