About Building Maintainable Software

This assigment code is based (we pruned the original) on the example code that accompanies Building Maintainable Software: Ten Guidelines for Future-Proof Code by Joost Visser.

There are currently two editions of Building Maintainable Software:

• The Java edition (ISBN print: 978-1-4919-5352-5, ISBN eBook: 978-1-4919-5348-8), available at the O'Reilly webshop and at Amazon.
• The C# edition (ISBN print: 978-1-4919-5452-2, ISBN eBook: 978-1-4919-5448-5), available at the O'Reilly webshop and at Amazon.

Training videos are also available via O'Reilly Media.

Both editions are the same except for the language of the code snippets and a bit of language-specific terminology (e.g., 'Eclipse' in the Java edition is 'Visual Studio' in the C# edition).
