The Architecture of Open Source Applications

Posted by timothy on Monday May 23, 2011 @10:42AM from the look-a-free-book dept.

jrepin writes "In new free book the authors of twenty-five open source applications explain how their software is structured, and why. What are each program's major components? How do they interact? And what did their builders learn during their development? In answering these questions, the contributors to this book provide unique insights into how they think."
