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.
