Solid Code goes to print – gets a subtitle
Well, after nearly a year, Solid Code went to print this week. During the final editing process, we decided that it should also get a subtitle to accurately describe the book’s intent. So, the final title will be: Solid Code – Optimizing the Software Development Life Cycle. It should find its way onto store shelves by the end of February, or the beginning of March. Just look for the book spine that resembles the image on the left. 
It’s safe to say that both Donis and I are very satisfied with the way it turned out. There is a ton of information in this book, and much of it is complemented by real world examples and case studies of software development best practices from within Microsoft. Hopefully, readers will enjoy it as much as both of us have enjoyed writing it. Now that it is bound for store shelves, expect to start seeing the occasional blog entry that discusses the philosophy behind specific chapters.
