I'm referring to this work specifically: https://www.aosabook.org/en/500L/introduction.html. In general, what other programming books are there that focus on small, mostly self-contained yet interesting projects, and also go into more detail than the average 'X by Example' or 'X Cookbook' books?
A classic example would be SICP, <i>Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs</i>, by Abelson and Sussman. It is often discussed here.<p>It does present a series of case studies that (I recall)
are around 500 lines, but it's not so easy to count because the code is interleaved with explanation.<p>Although the code in each study is mostly self contained, the presentation is not -- the later studies depend on ideas and techniques introduced in the earlier ones, so it works best of you go through the book from beginning to end.<p>The code is very bare bones - it's all in the Scheme language, with no user interface except the Scheme REPL.
