  Book Information

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.
