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.

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.

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.

Good packaging and good legible print. Worth the price
