Summary
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。

Clean Code is an excellent book to improve the art of programming， it has a lot of tips and concrete examples of what to do and how to do it， from how to improve functions in particular to details and heuristics that will grow you as a Developer， with this book I made a lot of refactor to a lot of code I had made so far and the truth is that I strongly recommend them。

Конечно книга подустарела для 2020-2021 годов， но основные принципы разработки остались неизменны。 DRY， комментарии， компоненты и т。д。 Мой совет для чтения， не вдаваться в каждую главу， как рекомендует автор， а посмотреть по верхам， найти интересные вам главы и с удовольствием их прочитать）

Though a bit Java-focussed， many of the principles given in this book apply on programming in general。 Great philosophy for a professional work attitude。

This book is a must-read for any programmer， it's well structured and contains a lot of great tips and information about how to make your code better and cleaner。 And through my first read， I was just able to find multiple things that I've done wrong in my code and won't be happening again in the future。Although the book is heavily skewed toward Java programming languages and code so as a game developer I had to skip multiple chapters and just focus on the main tips that can work on general oop This book is a must-read for any programmer， it's well structured and contains a lot of great tips and information about how to make your code better and cleaner。 And through my first read， I was just able to find multiple things that I've done wrong in my code and won't be happening again in the future。Although the book is heavily skewed toward Java programming languages and code so as a game developer I had to skip multiple chapters and just focus on the main tips that can work on general oop programming。 。。。more

Not so helpful if you're already an experienced developer。 It "might" help the students who want to start learning programming。 Not so helpful if you're already an experienced developer。 It "might" help the students who want to start learning programming。 。。。more

Overall the book is good even if dated a bit。 Some of the things discussed are not as b big an issue in modern versions of languages but many of the ideas still hold true around naming and abstractions。

The book tells that the programming is poetry so that we love to read it again and again。 And every poem can be refined everytime we read it

The good: there are some excellent ideas in this book， very practical and meaningful suggestions to help us all write better good。 I particularly liked the early section providing a variety of views on what 'clean code' actually is。 Craftsmanship stood out for me。 Code should look as though it has been crafted， built with care and consideration by someone willing to take the time to refine it again and again， and to always learn from their previous work。It would have been a better book if it did The good: there are some excellent ideas in this book， very practical and meaningful suggestions to help us all write better good。 I particularly liked the early section providing a variety of views on what 'clean code' actually is。 Craftsmanship stood out for me。 Code should look as though it has been crafted， built with care and consideration by someone willing to take the time to refine it again and again， and to always learn from their previous work。It would have been a better book if it didn't feel as though the advice of the book had been overlooked in its writing。For a book called 'Clean Code'， I was surprised at how entirely Java-centric it was。 I like Java， it's my language of choice， so everything in here felt applicable to me and my code。 But the title didn't let us know it's all JavaJavaJava。 What about other languages？ How much of this stuff is relevant then？ How easy is this book to follow for someone who knows only a very different programming language？ How am I supposed to reconcile these questions with the author's strong advice to choose names such that there is no surprise in the behaviour or purpose of the thing being named， or to decouple things sufficiently that they can be reused in other contexts？Typing errors， vague variable names， inconsistent formatting and the like gradually wore my initial enthusiasm down to a minor level of irritation。 The title and header of Appendix C contradict the author's own advice so much as to make me wonder whether the irony were intentional。I am confident that I will go through this book again， as there is much good stuff in it which I can learn from， and the final appendix does have a very useful summary of ideas to hold in mind when reviewing Java programs。 But， alas， I feel that this book was created without some of the craftsmanship it tries to teach us about。 。。。more

I found the first few chapters helpful， but found the remainder difficult to follow because the examples were specifically in Java which I don't know。 One to revisit once I have more experience of working on large code bases as part of a big team， with more programming knowledge - the concepts just seem a bit too abstract for me to truly appreciate at the moment， and I'm still struggling to understand where the balance lies between perfection vs pragmatism。 I found the first few chapters helpful， but found the remainder difficult to follow because the examples were specifically in Java which I don't know。 One to revisit once I have more experience of working on large code bases as part of a big team， with more programming knowledge - the concepts just seem a bit too abstract for me to truly appreciate at the moment， and I'm still struggling to understand where the balance lies between perfection vs pragmatism。 。。。more

Some of the advice was unrealistic such as writing functions that have at most three parameters or creating classes with small sizes。 However， the author does at least tell us these principles should be done in moderation and pragmatism is paramount。 I think the SerialDate code should not have been an appendix but should have been integrated with the chapter on refactoring SerialDate; that way， readers could see the changes happening one at a time while also seeing the code itself。 That said， I Some of the advice was unrealistic such as writing functions that have at most three parameters or creating classes with small sizes。 However， the author does at least tell us these principles should be done in moderation and pragmatism is paramount。 I think the SerialDate code should not have been an appendix but should have been integrated with the chapter on refactoring SerialDate; that way， readers could see the changes happening one at a time while also seeing the code itself。 That said， I can tell this book has heavily influenced the industry as I see a lot of the advice and heuristics followed in many code bases。 It was also comforting to read that concurrent programming was being used in the 1970s and was a hassle then like it is now。 This book does inspire me to aspire to be a craftsman regarding my work and the code I write。 。。。more

It was too difficult for me to get through （I don't have a software engineering background）。 That being said， it still contained some basic takeaways that were fairly useful （good naming conventions， keeping things simple， keeping functions focused on one thing， etc。。）。 It was too difficult for me to get through （I don't have a software engineering background）。 That being said， it still contained some basic takeaways that were fairly useful （good naming conventions， keeping things simple， keeping functions focused on one thing， etc。。）。 。。。more

It's very OOP- and Java-heavy， while there is some unquestionably good advice there， some of the guidelines seem outdated and virtually impossible to follow （function size of 2-4 lines， every class should have a single reason to change）。 About 25% of the book is not relevant for other paradigms and languages， all in all I would not recommend this book in 2021 to non-Java programmers。 It's very OOP- and Java-heavy， while there is some unquestionably good advice there， some of the guidelines seem outdated and virtually impossible to follow （function size of 2-4 lines， every class should have a single reason to change）。 About 25% of the book is not relevant for other paradigms and languages， all in all I would not recommend this book in 2021 to non-Java programmers。 。。。more

I said "Yup， my team's codebase has this issue" multiple times while reading this book。 I focus on Python/Spark so a few parts of this JAVA-based book felt unnecessary。The SerialDate refactoring chapter would be more useful as a video/repository instead of a text-based format。 I said "Yup， my team's codebase has this issue" multiple times while reading this book。 I focus on Python/Spark so a few parts of this JAVA-based book felt unnecessary。The SerialDate refactoring chapter would be more useful as a video/repository instead of a text-based format。 。。。more

Good book about seeing the big picture in writing high quality， maintainable code， rather than just stuff that meets the bare requirements。 Would recommend it to all Java developers looking to improve their code quality， though a lot of the principles in it would be just as applicable to other static typed object oriented programming languages。
