Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship (Robert C. Martin Series)

I have loved writing code for a very long time. Overtime, I have realized that writing awesome code needs much more discipline than skill. This book emphasizes this very fact in a unique way. The author "uncle Bob" does make very strong & clear remarks with very good supporting examples & rationale. This book can thoroughly embarrass good / great code that lacks discipline & hence foresight. I recommend reading this book more than once for those... who would like to write code... who would like to read code... who would like to review code... who would like to maintain code... who would like to design software... who would like to be part of a software development team for over 2 years... Irrespective of your experience in writing / reading / designing code you think is great (or good enough) you must read this book to know what "clean code" feels like..! and then look past your ego and go back to correct your code :)

Well, if you are still thinking whether or Not to purchase this one, please stop thinking. Just get it already. Its WORTH every penny. When going through this master piece, you connect with a developer deep down in your subconscious who was subdued in writing crappy code by Deadlines and Circumstances. If you are the person to stand up and do the RIGHT thing, this gem would guide you to WHAT the RIGHT THING is!And guess what, even that's worth it. If you want someone to write Maintainable, Readable Code; ask them to go through this once. Not specific to Java developers. I am a .Net Developer. Would recommend this over Refactoring by Mr.Fowler(even that's a great read though)

Very good book. Helps improving code implementation in an expressive way.

This book is a must read for all the engineers who want to read more clean and understandable code. Book is beginner friendly, I loved it.

Good packaging and good legible print. Worth the price

This book didn't teach something out of the box but it stressed on keeping code readable, one should always see the projects from the eye of readability such that eventually they are easy to collaborate on, if one keeps this perspective all rules / suggestions in this book will come to you.

The book helps you identify how bad code looks like and suggests how it should have been written in the first place. Lot of code snippets have been shown to consolidate our understanding about a particular topic in consideration. Of course, it will be difficult to remember all the concepts by just one time reading. As such, this book will have to be read and referred multiple times by the reader to have the concepts etched in the mind.

This book is very impressive in making one understand how to write clean code. Though I am currently studying third chapter I am finding it applicable in the production code base. This is certainly a very good buy if you want to learn good code that not only makes the compiler happy but will make the day for the maintainer as well. Amazon service was very good in delivering the product in perfect shape.

Ein Muss für jeden, der besser programmieren will – nicht nur für Anfänger „Clean Code“ hat mir persönlich sehr gut gefallen und ich würde es jedem empfehlen, der sich ernsthaft mit Softwareentwicklung beschäftigt – egal ob Anfänger oder erfahrener Entwickler. Als Ergänzung beim Programmieren lernen: Gerade wenn man neu ins Programmieren einsteigt, ist das Buch eine perfekte Ergänzung, weil es nicht nur zeigt, was man programmieren soll, sondern wie man es sauber und verständlich macht. Es geht weit über Syntax und Sprache hinaus und behandelt die Prinzipien guten Codes – etwas, das in vielen Kursen oft zu kurz kommt. Auch für Fortgeschrittene absolut lesenswert: Auch wenn man schon programmieren kann, lohnt sich die Lektüre. Das Buch hilft, schlechte Angewohnheiten zu erkennen und zu reflektieren, die sich im Laufe der Zeit eingeschlichen haben. Es geht dabei nicht um theoretische Regeln, sondern um praktische, nachvollziehbare Beispiele und konkrete Tipps, die man direkt umsetzen kann. Fazit: „Clean Code“ sollte jeder Programmierer kennen und gelesen haben. Es hat mir geholfen, meinen Code strukturierter, lesbarer und verständlicher zu schreiben – was nicht nur mir, sondern auch meinen Kollegen zugutekommt. Absolute Empfehlung für alle, die sauberen, wartbaren Code schreiben wollen – ein echter Klassiker der Softwareentwicklung.

This book has changed the way I code, hopefully for the better! Fittingly for a book about clean coding, it is cleanly written with clear examples and case studies.

Excelente libro

This is a great book. I have found the concepts informative and helpful. I'm glad I decided to get it. As an aid, I listened to the audio book version while I followed along reading it. This made taking notes a dream. I am now on my way to leveling up my programming skills.
