Ayende @ Rahien

Unnatural acts on source code

New version of the book out!

Chapters 5 - 7 are now available, covering a lot of the building of a DSL and integrating that into an application.

This version contains a lot of fixes from reviewers, but I intend to make some chapter shuffling which will put the hard core stuff toward the middle of the book, after we cover more interesting scenarios.

Is that you on the cover? Tools of the trade in left hand (R# in there) and smth that looks like portable sledgehammer in the right :)

Even I do not understand that what a cover image like this would be related to topics like DSL and LAN.

The covers of Manning books (at least the ones in this style) are always explained in the front-matter, and there's always at least some connection - however tenuous - with the subject matter.

Personally I like the idea of authors dressing up like their covers for a photoshoot, but I don't have a mandolin and Ayende may not have a rifle...
