Please read. Please!

If it's your profession to write code, then you should have this book at your side while doing it. Its in Java but c# developers will get it no problem.

Good one

Edited by Uncle Bob, this is one of best books in Software Craftsmanship. The book should be a required reading for all Programmers. Even though this book has half a dozen co-authors, the flow is seamless. The authors convey consistent, clear yet very practical set of ideas in CODE. If you even apply 50 % of the ideas in the book - the guy after you will appreciate it a lot.

Great book

This is a very good book. A lot of code is just a big mess, especially enterprise applications that are 100's of modules and have grown over years. Some of these code bases have 10,000 line files with 2000 line methods. Not acceptable and this book will help you understand why. Because nobody can understand it!

Get this book and write better, more expressive code.

Small Details, Big Difference

This book focuses in on small details that really come together to make a great set of core practices for designing simple, easy to read source code. Bob Martin is a great Author, and the ideas in this book come from his and others extensive experience. I liked how the chapters were really focused in on particular topics. Great read.

Even bad code can function. But if code isn?t clean, it can bring a development organization to its knees. Every year, countless hours and significant resources are lost because of poorly written code. But it doesn?t have to be that way.

Noted software expert Robert C. Martin presents a revolutionary paradigm with Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship. Martin has teamed up with his colleagues from Object Mentor to distill their best agile practice of cleaning code ?on the fly? into a book that will instill within you the values of a software craftsman and make you a better programmer?but only if you work at it.

What kind of work will you be doing? You?ll be reading code?lots of code. And you will be challenged to think about what?s right about that code, and what?s wrong with it. More importantly, you will be challenged to reassess your professional values and your commitment to your craft.

Clean Code is divided into three parts. The first describes the principles, patterns, and practices of writing clean code. The second part consists of several case studies of increasing complexity. Each case study is an exercise in cleaning up code?of transforming a code base that has some problems into one that is sound and efficient. The third part is the payoff: a single chapter containing a list of heuristics and ?smells? gathered while creating the case studies. The result is a knowledge base that describes the way we think when we write, read, and clean code.

Readers will come away from this book understanding
How to tell the difference between good and bad codeHow to write good code and how to transform bad code into good codeHow to create good names, good functions, good objects, and good classesHow to format code for maximum readabilityHow to implement complete error handling without obscuring code logicHow to unit test and practice test-driven developmentThis book is a must for any developer, software engineer, project manager, team lead, or systems analyst with an interest in producing better code.
