The bible for the modern professional programmer.
You will find a lot of reviews on the net, so I don't have to write another one.
It's about how to write good code, which seems to be still more an art than a science.
It should be taught in every CS education. But it isn't. Instead that's where
you will find some of the most horrible code anwhere.
I barely remember those tree and graph implementations
in a Java int[]
array ... . Ah, and the variable names ... p
q
t0
za
s
... .
As if there is bytes to save ... well our professors learned programming on punchcards.
But, back on topic: "Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship" teaches you, what university courses do wrong and how your code can get better. Go read it. :)
