Seemed useless to me :-）Almost all the guidelines seemed just common sense。Quite boring to read。

About half the content I felt well versed in already， thanks to having worked on a large engineering team for some years。 The other half introduced me and will hopefully motivate me to dive deeper into topics and skills that I am currently lacking。

Classic book on programming / engineering patterns and approaches。 Easy to read and the updated version is still relevant with updated examples on modern languages

Some really great stuff in here that reframed my thinking。 Also some stuff that went WAY over my head。 Also， some stuff that was super obvious， even to me。

Great overview and advice on how to be an effective programmer。

The best book to get anyone started on the journey of software craftsmanship。 It covers almost all imaginable aspects of software engineering and each paragraph is filled with actionable， practical advice。 There are other great books out there on programming which dive deeper into specific areas， however， I was surprised to find that Pragmatic Programmer often managed to provide keener insight in a niche topic while also covering a much broader scope。A must-read for any software professional。

Lots of good practical advice。 A lot of it isn't unique at this point but it's a good compendium。 Lots of good practical advice。 A lot of it isn't unique at this point but it's a good compendium。 。。。more

Read this a good few years ago now - but it was really helpful book。 I'm a little bit sceptical of framing software development as 'craft' but for such a short book it touches on a lot of important aspects of how to write code in a way that is going to make life easier for yourself or any of your colleagues。Opinionated in places - generally in a good way but if you want a book that will explain 'why' following perceived wisdom on common good practice makes sense rather than just telling you to d Read this a good few years ago now - but it was really helpful book。 I'm a little bit sceptical of framing software development as 'craft' but for such a short book it touches on a lot of important aspects of how to write code in a way that is going to make life easier for yourself or any of your colleagues。Opinionated in places - generally in a good way but if you want a book that will explain 'why' following perceived wisdom on common good practice makes sense rather than just telling you to do it then this is a pretty good one。 。。。more

Wow。。。 just wow！ This book is packed with so many tips for a sensible software engineering career！ Lol。。。 but you probably already knew that if you’re considering reading it。 I like the fact that serious information was presented in a not so serious way。 While reading， I had so many haha moments！ I also really liked reading the quotes at the beginning of every topic， great stuff！

Cada tip q incluye es super valioso y útil en la carrera de cualquier desarrollador/a， varias cosas se van aprendiendo con la experiencia， pero es interesante conocerlo de antes。 Con haber leído sólo algunos de los tips e incorporarlos al día a día profesional， vas a mejorar con seguridad tus habilidades

The definite down-to-earth approach to programming as an engineering skill and craftsmanship。

I liked this book， but if I had to suggest just one book for someone to read to become a better programmer I'd choose Clean Code instead。 There are a lot of good tips in here， but there's also a lot of outdated information （I should have checked that I had the 2nd edition）。 Some of the stuff they recommend is no longer applicable because tools exist for that task。 In general though， a lot of the advice is timeless and useful， even if the perspective seems to be from a consulting standpoint and n I liked this book， but if I had to suggest just one book for someone to read to become a better programmer I'd choose Clean Code instead。 There are a lot of good tips in here， but there's also a lot of outdated information （I should have checked that I had the 2nd edition）。 Some of the stuff they recommend is no longer applicable because tools exist for that task。 In general though， a lot of the advice is timeless and useful， even if the perspective seems to be from a consulting standpoint and not as a member of a team working on software that's continuously being updated。 Again， maybe a difference in the times （everything now is continuously shipped SaaS products）。 I think a lot of the ideas in this book were probably revolutionary at the time this book was published， but are common knowledge now （or common sense）。 Still， its good to get reminders and I did find myself highlighting a number of passages as I went along。 。。。more

Reúne num só livro diversas dicas encontradas em vários outros livros。Mesmo sendo relativamente antigo， contém conhecimento que pode ser aplicado até hoje。

Good practical guidebook for having a good working style。 Whether you are a programmer or not， you will definitely learn a thing or two from this book as everything involves technology these days

This is kinda a self-help book for programmers。 I wish I read this years ago。 I realized I made a lot of mistakes。 But what matters now is that I'm willing to correct my mistakes from the past and to never stop learning。 It doesn’t matter if you are an experienced or newbie programmer。 This is a must book to read for all programmers out there。 This is kinda a self-help book for programmers。 I wish I read this years ago。 I realized I made a lot of mistakes。 But what matters now is that I'm willing to correct my mistakes from the past and to never stop learning。 It doesn’t matter if you are an experienced or newbie programmer。 This is a must book to read for all programmers out there。 。。。more

Awesome book， Powerful suggestions for the novice， professional and hobbyist programmers。 I've wanted to read this years ago， but then I found it on Audible - bought it and the Kindle version。 I like their views on agile， and the ways many companies don't implement it correctly。 The suggestions on dealing with the demands of the profession is great for everyone to know。 This is a great tool for anyone who cuts code！ There are some instances in the order in which things show up in the Kindle， wh Awesome book， Powerful suggestions for the novice， professional and hobbyist programmers。 I've wanted to read this years ago， but then I found it on Audible - bought it and the Kindle version。 I like their views on agile， and the ways many companies don't implement it correctly。 The suggestions on dealing with the demands of the profession is great for everyone to know。 This is a great tool for anyone who cuts code！ There are some instances in the order in which things show up in the Kindle， while listening， but it wasn't too much of a distraction。 。。。more

It's hard to say anything about this book which hasn't been said before。 Coding is just one part of the whole software development process and often that's the thing we focus the most on。 This book is a must read for every software developer。 It contains pearls of wisdom about every aspect of software development， starting with requirement gathering and talking to your users， through prototypes and coding best practices， to delivering a complete， polished piece of software。 Best part about the b It's hard to say anything about this book which hasn't been said before。 Coding is just one part of the whole software development process and often that's the thing we focus the most on。 This book is a must read for every software developer。 It contains pearls of wisdom about every aspect of software development， starting with requirement gathering and talking to your users， through prototypes and coding best practices， to delivering a complete， polished piece of software。 Best part about the book is that it is abstract and the principles covered in the book are practically timeless。 。。。more
