description: If you – like me – think that coding is an art, not just following the syntax of the programming language of your choice, this book is right for you. If you are the ‘get it quick out there’, keep on reading, this book is even more designed with you in mind.There is no perfect code, whilst too many ways to write bad code. This book will walk through different approaches, reasoning why they are good or bad, as well as providing some clarifying examples (mainly Python). The book is broken down into different areas ranging from design and good coding practices to performances and security. A checklist ends all the chapters to help you during the code review process of your projects. Don't read this book:1 - If you are looking for an entire encyclopedia on data structures, software architectures, and any possible software engineering facets: this book is not for you. Certain concepts in the book are in pills: it provides just the core information that can assist you in doing better choices. This book is not made to impress you, it is made to help you out. To be handy and on point. 2 - It is not a Python programming book. Nor a programming book per se either. It is meant to help in writing better code by looking at it from several angles. 3 - This book is not boring. If you are looking for endless mechanical chapters, wrong choice. Let’s add some fun, life is too short.4 - If your heart as a programmer is too sensible on how bad code can be, please stop. I care about you, seriously. Or at least, read with caution, don’t stress too much: there are other wonderful things in the world! 5 - And if you get upset identifying bad things that you did... no worries every single programmer on earth has been there! But at the end of the day, I hope you’ll enjoy it!The book is in progress and is available on Leanpub at https://leanpub.com/codereviews101the...Ranked in the top 5 books on code reviews @ BookAuthority: https://bookauthority.org/books/best-...
