If Code Quality and Code Reading get the
attention they deserve, I think they could do
more to change our profession for the better
than any of the bandwagons that have rolled
by the in the last 20 years. (Gregory
V. Wilson, Dr. Dobb's Journal)

Diomidis Spinellis' first book,
Code Reading, showed programmers how to understand and
modify key functional properties of software. Code Quality
focuses on non-functional properties, demonstrating how to meet
such critical requirements as reliability, security, portability, and
maintainability, as well as efficiency in time and
space.
Spinellis draws on hundreds of examples from
open source projects, such as the Apache web
and application servers, the BSD Unix systems, and
the HSQLDB Java database, to illustrate concepts and
techniques that every professional software developer will be
able to appreciate and apply immediately.
