Clean Code
by Wojciech Adam Koszek ⋅ Feb 13, 2017 ⋅ Menlo Park, CATake on clean programming. Unfortunately the book is entirely in Java and has a lot of Javaisms, but my overall impression was "fine"
This book is a classic for books about writing software, but in general I
found it underwhelming. Java code is verbose by default, with all its
public
, static
, protected
even refactored, you end up with a similar
level of complexity. That’s the take I had from that book: several examples
were indeed refactored and the end code was shown, but I had “meh” feeling
about whether it really helped the program readability.
The “Code Complete” is waaay better.
If I were to recommend you a code quality book, the “Code Complete” would be it. I might be biased. If Java is your technology of choice, read “Clean Code” as well.
