One of the highlights at the recent SD West 2008 conference was the panel discussion on "Beautiful Code" that I had the honor of moderating.

Based on the book of the same name, the Beautiful Code the panel was made up of six of the 33 contributors to the book -- Michael Feathers, Jim Kent, Christopher Seiwald, Elliotte Harold, Ron Mak, and Alberto Savoia. As I previously said, my job was to make sure the panel had plenty of bottled water.

To give you a flavor of the panel discussion, here's a video excerpt of the event. We'll have more clips in the near future.
