Programmers who endure and succeed amidst swirling uncertainty and
nonstop pressure share a common attribute: They care deeply about
the practice of creating software. They treat it as a craft. They
are professionals.
In The Clean Coder: A Code of Conduct for Professional Programmers,
legendary software expert Robert C. Martin introduces the
disciplines, techniques, tools, and practices of true software
craftsmanship. This book is packed with practical advice--about
everything from estimating and coding to refactoring and
testing.
It covers much more than technique: It is about attitude. Martin
shows how to approach software development with honor,
self-respect, and pride; work well and work clean; communicate and
estimate faithfully; face difficult decisions with clarity and
honesty; and understand that deep knowledge comes with a
responsibility to act. Readers will learn - What it means to behave
as a true software craftsman - How to deal with conflict, tight
schedules, and unreasonable managers - How to get into the flow of
coding, and get past writer's block - How to handle unrelenting
pressure and avoid burnout - How to combine enduring attitudes with
new development paradigms - How to manage your time, and avoid
blind alleys, marshes, bogs, and swamps - How to foster
environments where programmers and teams can thrive - When to say
"No"--and how to say it - When to say
"Yes"--and what yes really means Great software is
something to marvel at: powerful, elegant, functional, a pleasure
to work with as both a developer and as a user.
Great software isn't written by machines. It is written by
professionals with an unshakable commitment to craftsmanship. The
Clean Coder will help you become one of them--and earn the pride
and fulfillment that they alone possess.
"'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 Gartner Senior Software Developer it-agile GmbH www.it-agile.de www.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 and The Clean Coder is no exception. Read, learn, and live the lessons in this book and you can accurately call yourself a software professional." --George Bullock Senior Program Manager Microsoft 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 Coder describes the journey to professionalism ... and it does a remarkably entertaining job of it." --Jeff Overbey University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign "The Clean Coder is 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. Bogetti Lead System Designer Baxter Healthcare www.RLBogetti.com
