About this product
Product Information
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 code How to write good code and how to transform bad code into good code How to create good names, good functions, good objects, and good classes How to format code for maximum readability How to implement complete error handling without obscuring code logic How to unit test and practice test-driven development This book is a must for any developer, software engineer, project manager, team lead, or systems analyst with an interest in producing better code.

- s***i (1)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook came earlier than expected was in very good condition and the seller was very easy to communicate with overall a really good experience. The book was as described. It was heavily packaged and safely contained in bubble wrap, a protective bag, and a plastic wrap and it’s 100% worth what I spent for it I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison 1967 Pyramid PB 1st Printing (#205271651849)
- 3***a (96)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseA translation of Pushkin’s verse novel by Vladimir Nabokov, this item was exactly as described in the listing. The packaging was well done for shipment, and the book was delivered faster than expected. The introduction where Nabokov discussed the various difficulties in translating verse alone was worth the price of the book- a modest price for such a fascinating novel. buy of a fascinating novel
- s***e (1)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAwesome packaging, in good condition and a nice note attached. And my name was spelled correctly-with my weird name so many people decide how it should be spelled and mess it up. It arrived quickly and as described. Great price for a hard to find book. Really loved the fact that the seller paid attention to detail and spelled my name the way it’s meant to be. Wonderful experience.The Deep by Peter Benchley 1977 paperback edition (#204602826509)
