Practical Beautiful Code

For my birthday this year my wonderful girlfriend gave me the book Beautiful Code. It is a collection of extremely well written and efficient snippets of code that are analyzed by the developer who wrote them or were involved with them. The goal of the book is for the reader to understand how and why each master coder solved the problem they are faced with. So far I’ve absolutely loved the book even though a good part of the actual code goes over my head.

About

I am a Chicago based web developer about to graduate college from Columbia who also likes to dabble in UI design. I enjoy building all kinds of web applications in all types of languages. When coding I try to follow the DRY philosophy as best I can as well as making my web sites as semantic as possible. More about me.
