Beautiful Code: Leading Programmers Explain How They Think
by Worthersee at 9:32 pm EDT, May 29, 2007

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.

Release Date: June 15, 2007

You might be interested in my post about this book from two months ago. I gathered some pointers you can follow to learn more about the contributors to this anthology.

Very nice, thank you. New to MemeStreams, didn't understand how 'Discuss' works. Now I do.

Looks pretty cool. There are many projects discussed in that book that i use/have used, but at a whopping 600pgs...It might be too much for me.
