I love programming and I love codinghorror.com. Jeff Atwood is a good writer and with each post I learn about programming, the industry and life itself. So it only made sense for me to buy his "greatest hits" collection - a book called Effective Programming: More than writing code. Turned out the book has some major formatting errors (quotes weren't distinguishable from normal text) and while the online posts get updated sometimes, the book does not. So I've decided to take the table-of-contents and produce a table-of-links by reverse-engineering so I could read the up-to-date version of the book in it's original form.
I've got reason to believe he's okay with this, but I tweeted him anyway, and he is.
