The Clean Coder: A Code of Conduct for Professional Programmers (Robert C. Martin Series)
“‘Uncle Bob’ Martin definitely raises the bar with his latest book. He explains his expectation for a professional programmer on management interactions, time management, pressure, on collaboration, and on the choice of tools to use. Beyond TDD and ATDD, Martin explains what every programmer who considers him- or herself a professional not only needs to know, but also needs to follow in order to make the young profession of software development grow.”–Markus GärtnerSenior Software Developerit-agile GmbHwww.it-agile.dewww.shino.de “Some technical books inspire and teach; some delight and amuse. Rarely does a technical book do all four of these things. Robert Martin’s always have for me andThe Clean Coderis no exception. Read, learn, and live the lessons in this book and you can accurately call yourself a software professional.”–George BullockSenior Program ManagerMicrosoft Corp. “If a computer science degree had ‘required reading for after you graduate,’ this would be it. In the real world, your bad code doesn’t vanish when the semester’s over, you don’t get an A for marathon coding the night before an assignment’s due, and, worst of all, you have to deal with people. So, coding gurus are not necessarily professionals.The Clean Coderdescribes the journey to professionalism . . . and it does a remarkably entertaining job of it.”–Jeff OverbeyUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign “The Clean Coderis much more than a set of rules or guidelines. It contains hard-earned wisdom and knowledge that is normally obtained through many years of trial and error or by working as an apprentice to a master craftsman. If you call yourself a software professional, you need this book.”–R. L. BogettiLead System DesignerBaxter Healthcarewww.RLBogetti.com
