The Clean Coder

"The Clean Coder" by Robert Martin is a must-read for programmers who see software creation as a craft. This book provides practical advice ranging from estimating and coding to refactoring and testing, but it doesn't stop at techniques. It teaches you how to approach software development with honor, self-respect, and pride, and motivates you to work well, work clean, communicate and estimate faithfully, face difficult decisions with clarity and honesty, and understand that superior knowledge comes with a responsibility to act. The Clean Coder will help you earn the pride and satisfaction that come with being a professional software craftsman.
