So far I think my best two columns have been Organizing For Change and Dependency Injection. These are my favorites at least.

Why do I bring this up? Because today, as part of their 7 day promo fest, back issues are 50% off. That means you could pick up the back issues with my best columns for a measly $1.99 a piece in PDF form. (He blogs shamelessly.) I put a lot of effort into those columns, I’m proud of them and I want you to read them.

Writing doesn’t come easy to me. Writing this blog for the past two years has helped me improve. However, I have to admit that I was quite worried just before the column was due. I just re-read it for the first time since turning it in and I am happy with the result. This is due in no small part to some great advise and encouragement from Marcus.

This month’s column takes on the topic of organizing code. I wanted to convey some of the fundamental principles underlying the object oriented paradigm, but in a way that goes beyond objects. In the mid 90’s, I had what I consider a major professional epiphany when I finally understood object oriented programming. This month’s column is my best attempt to concisely explain the heart of that epiphany.

I’m proud of this month’s column. I hope you’ll check it out.

Chris Shiflett has some thoughts about the security corner column in the same issue.
