Your Code As a Crime Scene

Kerri Miller

Although I'm reading a "beta" version of this book, there's simply not enough meat here. The author has one or two ways of tying the concept of "criminal investigation" to code analysis, but its weak; there's enough here for a blog post, or maybe a conference talk, but not enough for a book. Easily 40% of the text is how to use his personal metrics tool to parse formatted git logs. Take that out, and its a slight work. It feels like a waste of such a catchy title and a great premise for a book.. unfortunately, this isn't the book to really make something of it.
