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. Readers will come away from this book
