Ask HN: Best book/document you've seen explaining a code base
Hi,
I've taken it upon myself to write a document explaining our code, how data flows through it, what classes relate to each other, etc.
I've started on a rough outline but I want to know what best document's you've read that explained a code base to you?
What was your favorite?
- Cheyana 10y agoA little old...C Database Development by Al Stevens.
- dookahku 10y agoI'll check it out Edit: OK, I was looking at his amazon page; he's very prolific. I found his website: http://www.alstevens.com/ http://www.alstevens.com/ He writes mystery novels, books on ventriloquism, diabetes. A ton. I'm more than a little fascinated now!
