content:
Every stage of development of an application with associated guidelines.

like:
Nice and flowing style of writing. When everyone is talking of refactoring as the inevitable revision of code, prefactoring choose to stress the need of doing the right choose before following experience guide. I agree with Pugh.
Good guidelines have to accompany every day during application life.

funny:
Every story-life of experience of the author, and the "Exceptional guideline"

omitted:
In every page of the book there is evidence, but no explicit reference, of one of the most important guideline:
", we have just to deep understand it." ;-)
