Some time ago, I was asked if I would write a chapter on Telepathy for a new book on software architecture: The Architecture of Open Source Applications.
Finally today, the book as been released. You can read it online (or jump straight to my chapter) or purchase a hardcopy. The work is available under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license, and I believe translation is especially welcome.
I’ve not read the whole thing yet. Some of it I last read in draft. I have to find a quiet evening, but what I’ve read so far has been quite interesting. Authors talk about the mistakes, solutions and workarounds they ran into when putting their software together. It’s nice to know you’re not the only one who occasionally hacks together something you’re just not that proud of.
Thanks should go to the editors, Amy Brown and Greg Wilson, as well as the other authors, reviewers and contributors for making this book real.
