Kent Beck is Back!

The first book in a series he's been preparing for 20 years! Check it out now!

Kent Beck's mission for over 20 years: to help geeks feel safe in the world. The first fruit of that mission is [Tidy First?], a code organization method.
This book contains 32 code organization techniques that anyone who codes can apply in practice and see immediate results. It is also filled with the author's insights into development and software design gained from over 40 years as a programmer.
In addition, the book includes a special appendix titled “Kent Beck and the Translator’s Communication Record,” which compiles conversations the translator had with the author while translating, and a “Translator’s Special Appendix” containing the translator’s thoughts on the translation and development insights, providing an experience similar to witnessing a “conversation between two masters” between Kent Beck and the translator.
Join us as we embark on a new series by Kent Beck!
