Star Book Review -- Code Reading: An Open Source Perspective
Linked by Owen Anderson on Thu 27th Nov 2003 05:25 UTC
Features, Office "Code Reading: An Open Source Perspective", by Diomidis Spinellis, is a new kind of book. It's a foray into a domain normally left untouched by Computer Science texts and exemplifies yet another positive contribution from the Open Source movement. Simply put, Code Reading is a detailed discussion of the techniques required to read and maintain both good and bad code. As an interesting twist, the author draws on projects from the Open Source world to provide examples, both good and bad.

Not all of the examples are from NetBSD, a few are from a Java program (something to do with Apache) and Apache itself. He did choose BSD licenses because of the publisher perhaps, but the author is a FreeBSD committer so he likes BSD.
