Clean code book
If you are job hunting, this book is invaluable
A classic book (from 2008) that is very relevant and every developer should read
Even bad code can function. But if code isnât 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 doesnât 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 âon the flyâ into a book that will instill within you the values of a software craftsman and make you a better programmerâbut only if you work at it.
What kind of work will you be doing? Youâll be reading codeâlots of code. And you will be challenged to think about whatâs right about that code, and whatâs wrong with it. More importantly, you will be challenged to reassess your professional values and your commitment to your craft.
