O'Reilly's created a brand new website devoted to the topics in our new book "Beautiful Code" at http://beautifulcode.oreillynet.com.
We give you the opportunity to discuss the book's projects and to contribute information about other projects that illustrate coding
artistry.
The lead programmer for the Beautiful Code website is Michael Feathers, a popular author and expert in Agile Programming who contributed the
chapter "Framework for Integrated Test: Beauty through Fragility."
In a recent post, Feathers writes: "When I was a younger programmer, I felt guilty about being a neat-freak. It was a selective obsession.
There I was, sitting in my office with stacks of papers and books covering every available space, but I was oblivious to it. As long as
my code looked great, I could shut out the chaos around me: the towering stacks of dead tree that could've toppled and crushed me if I had
sneezed."
Feathers continues, "I don't know why I felt bad about being that way, but in retrospect, I think that I felt that I was wasting time caring
about neatness in code. It took me a couple of years to figure out that the ergonomics of code matter, and that the time you spend decluttering
your code can declutter your thoughts as well."
Got a site that fits the spirit of Beautiful Code? Then send us a link so we can blog about it:
