“Code Ahead” will be my second fourth book. It will be about software engineering. It will contain a number of best practices, which help software live longer. All of that principles I’ve learned from my practical experience.
Volume 1:
May 13, 2019: Русское издание вышло в издательстве Питер. Вот анонс на Habr.
Jan 12, 2019: This is a short list of reviews I’ve managed to find (feel free to add yours, via a pull request):
- Felix Raab
- Sandor Dargo
- Vladimir Rozhkov (по-русски)
Nov 19, 2018: I signed a contract with Piter, a Russian publishing house. They will translate the book to Russian and publish in Russia.
Jul 6, 2018: It is finally published, in version 1.0.
Jun 15, 2018: The manuscript is finally ready. Phew! It took way more time and energy than I expected. Now the proof-reading phase and it’s out.
Mar 29, 2018: After a few rather critical reviews I re-wrote and re-structured the book a lot. It lost one section and became more focused. It’s less of a fiction now and more technical. The text is fully ready. Now I will send it for a proof-reading and then will publish. Before the end of April it will be available on Amazon.
Jan 1, 2018: The book is almost finished, here is the contents of the book. There will be about 220 pages. I will select 10 reviewers in the next two weeks.
Dec 27, 2017: I purchased the domain codeahead.org.
Mar 7, 2017: I wrote a two-page intro to the book. It will be a novel. A novel about programmers, testers, managers, executives, clients, and computers. The main character will try to fight his way through a very typical corporate culture. I’ve never done fiction writing before. Let’s see how will it work out.
Nov 20, 2016: I’ve got over 30 emails from those who are interested in reviewing this book. To make the process transparent let’s make it simple. I will put applicants in a list and let you vote. The best 12, elected by you, will get the early draft of the book and will help me review it.
Aug 15, 2016: I finally found the right name for this book: “Code Ahead.” It is derived from “think ahead,” with a focus on code and coders. The book will explain what I think has to be done in any software project to make the lifetime of the software longer.
