Pragmatic Programmer, The: Your journey to mastery, 20th Anniversary Edition

I work in IT but am just a hobbiest when it comes to programming (I do game development for fun), so this book isn't being used towards work as such but even so this book was incredibly useful for keeping me from getting into bad habits with my own Projects along with teaching you useful life lessons in general. So I read this front page to back and took notes on the things I thought were very useful to know. It's quite a short hardback book but packed with lots of value, now that I have notes taken from it I will glady read them over and over during and before I start a new project. Could you find a lot of this information from multiple blog post, yes definitely but this is a "classic" programmer book where they most likely got this timeless information from.

Very useful and informative, covers various aspects, from requirement gathering, estimations, coding best practices, tests, refactoring and delivery.

Good quality and fast delivery

The book is quite well written, but as a college graduate looking for my first role it didn’t particularly help me out. As I’m no longer in any role connected to software. For someone in a role this book would no bother be a good piece of reference material as it does give plenty of food for thought. Some of the info I’ve learnt from it I use in other areas of my life. No doubt I will go back and read this, it has lay under the coffee table for too long being half read.

I read this book and I like it. Very useful cases are written. It helps to be: - organised for junior, learn the mistakes of others before doing himself. - manage team for middle developers. Most useful insides are helpful for the middle level. - create a corporate culture for seniors. There are some examples of how the corporate team should be. - managing difficult teams for HR and Business owners. If you are new to creating your IT team this book helps to find how to start and keep success. - all other people to learn the processes of software development. Some insides are useful for non-software teams, too. You can use the practice in your industry.

My some is learning to code and has a couple Of languages under his belt, this book was a great compliment to his learning. Some very good life tips come out of the themes explored too!

Absolutely amazing and insightful book that I read in two sittings spread across two days. I've also read a selection of Uncle Bob's books, and compared to his pointless meanderings and pompous language, this books offers practicality, lucidity, and fantastic examples. Every single developer who's transitioning into the mid/mid-senior level must read and internalise what this book is talking about. Aside from the content, the print is high quality, and the fact that it's a hardback makes it a perfect addition to my small library of reference books at work. I know it's going to last.

I bought this book for my husband, who taught topics of computing science, mainly programming, to BSc and MSc students in the UK for many years. This is his report on the book: "I found this book excellent. It matches exactly its title, the author clearly have a great deal of experience, and their approach is the right balance between practice and experience. Should be top of anybody's reading and re-reading list."

Great book to read not just for programmers.Worth reading more than once. This book will definitely help you in building better software and think responsibly.

I am an experienced developer associated with code for last 20 years. Reading a book like this is a deja-vu in many sense. It is tantalising experience as the pages turn in this book. The most I liked about this book is the simplicity and usage of language. It communicates in easy to follow yet coveys what matters most to me in my professional life. Also the way the each topic is capsuled makes the reading experience smooth. There is lot to reflect by reading this book. It does not matter what is your experience, this book will lay foundational aspects of engineering within you.

Llegó bien empaquetado, buena calidad

L'un des meilleurs livre pour développeur qui permet vraiment de s'améliorer. A acheter sans hésiter !

This book comes recommended by some of the best programmers in the industry. I was drawn to it via a mention by John Carmack and it doesn't disappoint. Shockingly applicable advice for a book with origins decades ago. Will likely change the way you approach programming (for the better!).
