Check out 500 Lines or less https://github.com/aosabook/500lines

I just can't recommend it enough. All the projects are open source, so you can review the source code and still be walked through the code by book. You'd learn why the programmers made certain trade offs and how the applications became better of for it

500 lines or fewer lines; but 500 lines or less code.

Yes! I often find myself making this point -- i.e. that the supposed problem indicates that the reader has made an incorrect assumption about an imaginary elision. Cf. "5 items or less [stuff]", "$5 or less [money]".

Is it finished? I see lots of folders without a README, which leads me to think that it was abandoned.

Here is a direct link for those like me who are wondering where can they actually read the book: http://aosabook.org/en/index.html
