Syllabus for The Mikado Method

[vinbarnes]

• 2/27 Ch. 1 - 5
• 3/13 Ch. 6 - end (incl. appendices)

A note on appendix A & B, they do not appear in my Kindle version of the book, but they are in the PDF. It also appears the PDF is v6 whereas the e-reader versions are v5.

My plan is to read v5 on my Kindle and switch over to the PDF for the appendices.

Where did you get a Kindle version? I don't see it on Amazon....

[vinbarnes]

It was part of Manning's MEAP (Manning Early Access Program), but I'm not seeing it updated to the final version like the PDF. Honestly, seeing both, the Kindle version is a little lacking because of all the diagrams in the book. YMMV.

Read this on the flight out to SF. Hella good book -- good pick @vinbarnes! And, yeah, the PDF version is very well done.

@rick you'll miss this week's meetup but you will be around for the second one, right? I know you have some thoughts and I'm sure the group would love to hear them as much as I would. If you can't make either meetups, mind posting some Bradley musings?

I am not scheduled to be on this week's meetup, but the vagaries of air travel are such that it could happen anyway, if flights get bumped, delayed, whatever (of course whether I'd have internets is a different question).

I'll try to fling some notes together.

Awesome book. Thanks for the suggestion @vinbarnes.

There's an issue for #13 for paper in between books. The suggestion is to pick one of the papers for the next meetup.

There was a brief discussion in the book and during the meetup on SOLID. It was mostly me asking "but why". Anyway, thanks @vinbarnes for these links
