You know how to write code that works, but what about code that´s well written and easy to understand? And robust and bug free? If other programmers looked at your handiwork, would they be able to figure out the code´s logic and purpose? Exceptional programmers have more than just technical know-how; they adopt the right approach and attitude toward development. Whether you want to become a true programming professional or enhance your existing professional skills, Code Craft will show you how to write code that does more than just work. Filled with language-agnostic advice that´s relevant to all developers, Code Craft covers code-writing concerns such as presentation style, variable naming, error handling, and security. And it tackles broader, realworld programming issues like effective teamwork, developmental processes, and documentation. Each chapter ends with a Q&A section that reviews key concepts to get you thinking like an expert, making this book an especially great reference for newer programmers who want to work professionally and efficiently as part of a team. This survival guide for the software factory will show you how to: -Write good code when the world´s not helping you -Avoid disasters and distractions in the workplace -Assess your abilities accurately and determine ways to improve -Adopt productive attitudes and follow best practices There´s little more valuable than the advice of a true programming professional. You´ll find Code Craft to be a clear, practical, and entertaining guide, and it´s a great way to take your code (and your career) to the next level. "Some books you read because you have to, some you simply have to read. Pete´s book is in the second category - it´s useful and fun and it´ll make you a better programmer"

Synopsis
Many programmers know how to write correct code - code that works. But not all know how to craft great code - code that is well written and easy to understand. Code Craft teaches programmers how to move beyond writing correct code to writing great code. The book covers code writing concerns, including code presentation style, variable naming, error handling, and security; and the wider issues of programming in the real world, such as good teamwork, development processes, and documentation. Code Craft presents language-agnostic advice that is relevant to all developers, from an author with loads of practical experience. A Q&A section at the end of each chapter helps readers to review the material and makes the book suited for academic use as well.

Ich war lange auf der Suche nach einem Buch wie diesem. Ich muss sagen, der Kauf hat sich absolut gelohnt. Sehr strukturiert und übersichtlich werden viele Tipps gegeben und Methodiken aufgezeigt um schöneren, robusteren Source Code zu schreiben. Außerdem ist der Schreibstil lustig und locker und man kann das Buch "mal eben" durchlesen.
Das Buch ist sehr schön gegliedert und jedes Kapitel ist unabhängig von den anderen lesbar. Am Ende jedes Kapitels folgt eine kurze Zusammenfassung und eine kurze Gegenüberstellung was nun "gute" und "schlechte" Programmierer tun. Danach folgen einige Fragen und Diskussionsanregungen, die am Ende ausführlich vom Autor beantwortet werden. So befasst sich der Leser noch intensiver mit dem Thema und kann seine Fähigkeiten wirklich langfristig verbessern.
Sehr schön sind vor allem die "Key concepts", in denen die wichtigsten Merksätze noch einmal hervorgehoben werden.
Selbstverständlich steht vieles in diesem Buch, was man als Programmierer eigentlich sowieso wissen sollte. Dokumentiere deinen Code, schreibe Testfälle, am Besten bevor du den eigentlichen Source Code schreibst und so weiter... Dennoch ist es einmal interessant zu lesen, was der Autor unter "richtiger Dokumentation" versteht. Auch Themen wie "Teamarbeit" werden in diesem Buch angesprochen.
Ich bin wirlich begeistert von dem Buch und habe es verschlungen! Ich bin auch der Meinung einiges mitgenommen und die Qualität meiner Arbeit als Programmiererin verbessert zu haben.
Wer sich also zum Thema "guter/qualitativ hochwertiger Source Code" und "effizienten Programmieren" informieren will und/oder die Qualität seines Codes verbessern will sollte dieses Buch lesen! Es lohnt sich wirklich!

Schliesse mich den anderen Rezensenten(?) an, möchte aber auch meine eigenen 5 Sterne vergeben.
Für mich ein Plus, dass es allgemein ums Programmieren geht und keine Sprache im Vordergrund steht. Danach kann man dann "Clean Code" lesen.

Not worth it
31. März 2007
Von zepto
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
After reading the good, despite few, amazon reviews of this book i decided to pick it up. I'm a big fan of books that teach one how to become a better programmer. Unfortunately, i wasn't too impressed by this one. The author didn't seem to have anything super insightful or groundbreaking to share with us. He gave a description of what he considers to be good code/coders along with a really brief description of a lot of software related tools, paradigms, and 'types' of programmers.
Unfortunately he doesn't really say anything that hasn't been said. His code examples are notably poor. In Steve McConnels book, "Code Complete" he criticizes programming books for using fibonacci as an example of recursion. He criticizes it because it's not something that software developers find themselves doing often. I have the same complaint with most of the code examples in this book (so maybe it is good there are so few). It felt like my high school java teacher (who had neither a CS degree or programming experience) wrote up the code samples. You'll quickly be annoyed by the simplicity of the mistakes and concepts that he is trying to express.
As you read this book you'll find things you agree and disagree with, and you'll just want to say OK. you won't run to your computer wanting to implement them. You also won't run to your friends telling them you've found a new way to do something. I guess that is my major problem with this book, there's nothing really special about it. I also found myself wondering 'why is this important?' throughout the book quite a bit.
I found another thing in this book to be insulting, the Good Programmers Bad Programmers section after each chapter. If i didn't know the difference between a good programmer and a bad programmer i wouldn't have bought the book. They are all very similar and obvious.
I would definitely recommend the following books over it:
Code Complete
Refactoring
Pragmatic Programmer
while this book does cover some things these books say, not enough to replace any one of them, and reading any of these will provide insights this book cannot.

Doesn't read like it was written by an actual software engineer, and has a annoying/insulting tone
28. Juli 2007
Von A. Chu
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
I was at the library and this happened to be next to another book that I wanted, so I picked it up too.
And wow, it's rare that I am this disappointed in a book. The content is very thin. It sounds like it was completely gathered from secondary sources, e.g. reading other books about software engineering. It doesn't sound like the result of actual experience.
Every page is filled with platitudes without any examples of real experience backing it up. I'll grant that he has assembled an extraordinarly wide range of *terms* and terminology. It looks like he has tried to shove 3 sentences about every topic in software into a single book. Unfortunately, this ultimately makes for a book with little use.
Another sticking point is the writing style. It comes off like the author is an annoying guy trying to be funny and trying to be your friend. The first sentence irritated me: "What's in it for me? Programming is your passion. It's sad, but it's true."
Huh? Why is it sad that programming is one's passion??? There are similar head-scratchers elsewhere in the book. He also devotes a section to talking about the various types of "code monkeys". And the last type is "You. In the interest of politeness, we'll say no more about this curious beast. Sadly, some people are beyond help..." What? The reader is beyond help? If I pretend for a minute that he's not insulting me, then I still don't know what he's trying to say. This book is incoherent.
And what's with all the reviews below that read like advertisements? Give me a break. It looks like a lot of the author's friends are spamming Amazon's reviews.
I recommend reading Joel Spolsky's books for real, specific insights on programming and the software development process, earned from experience, written in a much clearer and more entertaining style.
I'm also reading Jon Bentley's "Programming Pearls" now.

There is nothing new here!

I have two comments.
First, do not expect technical details on this book. There isn't. Second, the only paragraph that is really good is on page 461 and it says: "Find the classic books of the field". This is not one of those. He recommends and I agree almost completely:
* Code Complete
* Design Patterns: Elements of reusable object-oriented software
* The mythical man-month
* The psychology of computer programming
* The practice of programming
* Peopleware
* The pragmatic programmer
* refactoring
I do not thing that "Code Craft" is one of those.
