Reviews

Praise for the First Edition of Clean Code ""Clean Code has changed the way I develop and maintain software in so many ways. It defines so well how code should be written, and I have not only learnt much from this book but have also put into practice many of its gems. I can honestly say that having gone on this journey, it is once again a pleasure to develop software and look at code that you are proud to have written."" --Steve Roberts, head of IT ""Reading Clean Code validated my inner sense of how software should be written, while also improving the quality of my work by teaching me things I didn't know. I'm grateful for this book and others by the same author as they remain fundamental prerequisites, even in the age of AI."" --Milos Baic, developer and solution architect ""[Clean Code] was the single most influential thing that I encountered in my career. Provided I was in a team that adhered to it, it took a lot of stress away as the code was suddenly more understandable and thus easier to maintain. To design something with testability in mind eliminated a lot of complexity in design and maintenance. Above all, it made programming feel cozy and fun again. The feeling gets stronger when you move from poor to a cleaner code base."" --Žarko Stojanović, staff software engineer
