[...] Beautiful Code My appreciation of Beautiful Code is like the one I have for the Justice League or the X-Men– a band of exceptional individuals moving towards a common, altruistic end. (Proceeds of the the book will go to Amnesty International. ) This compendium of insightful essays and articles is edited by Andy Oram and Greg Wilson. The talent of the contributors is undeniable and the text reminds me of the Algorithms class I took in college. The book relates how various software design architects and experts attack and solve problems while maintaining the elegance of the implementation. The range of topics include Perl, Haskell, Python and Ruby. This should give the enthusiastic developer a fresh and broad perspective on software. I have to mention that the book is developer oriented, so expect a lot of code and text intertwined. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The book hopefully will be able to give you a new way to look at software. Share:These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages. [...]

I think I’m developing OCD. I find myself repeatedly performing the following actions.

1. Navigate to Amazon’s page for “Beautiful Code”.
2. See if it’s been published yet.
3. Refresh page a few times (just in case it was published right after I loaded the page).
4. GOTO 2

All that is to say that I’m really anticipating this book. Any updates on when it will be published?

If one particular chapter is holding up the works, I can submit some “How not to code” example code to replace that chapter.

Thanks.

Tim

[...] I first asked the web for pointers to good programmers in April 2006. At SIGCSE’07, Grady Booch let the cat out of the bag by telling the world about Beautiful Code. I posted a table of contents on March 27. [...]

I’d trade any 3 of the programmers listed for a contribution from Richard A. O’Keefe, whose contributions to logic programming (Prolog) and Erlang, among others, are beyond brilliant.
