The series is based on one simple premise: great books come from great authors. Books in the series are personally chosen by expert advisors, world-class authors in their own right. These experts are proud to put their signatures on the covers, and their signatures ensure that these thought leaders have worked uniqueness. The expert signautres also symbolize a promise to our raders: you are reading a future classic.
Kent Beck has pioneered people-oriented technologies like JUnit, Extreme Programming, and patterns for software development. Kent is interested in helping teams do well by doing good—finding a style of software development that simultaneously satisfies ecnomic, aesthetic, emotional, and practical constraints. His books focus on touching the lives of the creators and users of software.
Martin Fowler has been a pioneeer of object technology in enterprise applications. His central concern is how to design software well. He focuses on getting to the heart of how to build enterprise software that will last well into the future. He is interested in looking behind the specifics of thechnologies to the patterns, practices, and principles that last for many years; these books should be usable a decade from now. Martin's criterion is that these are books he wished he could write.
