Description

How to Write Code You're Proud of . . . Every Single Day". . . [A] timely and humble reminder of the ever-increasing complexity of our programmatic world and how we owe it to the legacy of humankind--and to ourselves--to practice ethical development. Take your time reading Clean Craftsmanship. . . . Keep this book on your go-to bookshelf. Let this book be your old friend--your Uncle Bob, your guide--as you make your way through this world with curiosity and courage."--From the Foreword by Stacia Heimgartner Viscardi, CST & Agile MentorIn Clean Craftsmanship, the legendary Robert C. Martin ("Uncle Bob") has written the principles that define the profession--and the craft--of software development. Uncle Bob brings together the disciplines, standards, and ethics you need to deliver robust, effective code and to be proud of all the software you write.Robert Martin, the best-selling author of Clean Code, provides a pragmatic, technical, and prescriptive guide to the foundational disciplines of software craftsmanship. He discusses standards, showing how the world's expectations of developers often differ from their own and helping you bring the two in sync. Bob concludes with the ethics of the programming profession, describing the fundamental promises all developers should make to their colleagues, their users, and, above all, themselves.With Uncle Bob's insights, all programmers and their managers can consistently deliver code that builds trust instead of undermining it--trust among users and throughout societies that depend on software for their survival.Moving towards the "north star" of true software craftsmanship: the state of knowing how to program wellPractical, specific guidance for applying five core disciplines: test-driven development, refactoring, simple design,collaborative programming, and acceptance testsHow developers and teams can promote productivity, quality, and courageThe true meaning of integrity and teamwork among programmers, and ten specific commitments every software professional should makeRegister your book for convenient access to the book's companion videos, updates, and/or corrections as they become available.

Reviews / Votes

"Bob's Clean Craftsmanship has done a great job explaining the purposes of agile technical practices, along with a deep historical basis for how they came into existence, as well as positioning for why they will always be important. His involvement in history and formation of agility, thorough understanding of practices, and their purposes reflect vividly throughout the manuscript."
-Tim Ottinger, well-known Agile Coach and author

"Bob's writing style is excellent. It is easy to read and the concepts are explained in perfect detail for even a new programmer to follow. Bob even has some funny moments, which pleasantly snap you out of focus. The true value of the book is really in the cry for change, for something better . . . the cry for programmers to be professional . . . the realization that software is everywhere. Additionally, I believe there is a lot of value in all the history Bob provides. I enjoy that he doesn't waste time laying blame for how we got to where we are now. Bob calls people to action, asking them to take responsibility by increasing their standards and level of professionalism, even if that means pushing back sometimes."
-Heather Kanser

"As software developers, we have to continually solve important problems for our employers, customers, colleagues, and future selves. Getting the app to work, though difficult, is not enough, it does not make you a craftsman. With an app working, you have passed the app-titude test. You may have the aptitude to be a craftsman, but there is more to master. In these pages, Bob expresses clearly the techniques and responsibilities to go beyond the app-titude test and shows the way of the serious software craftsman."
-James Grenning, author of Test-Driven Development for Embedded C and Agile Manifesto co-author

"Bob's one of the very few famous developers with whom I'd like to work on a tech project. It's not because he's a good developer, famous, or a good communicator; it's because Bob helps me be a better developer and a team member. He has spotted every major development trend, years ahead of others, and has been able to explain its importance, which encouraged me to learn. Back when I started--apart from being honest and a good person--the idea of craftsmanship and ethics was completely missing from this field. Now, it seems to be the most important thing professional developers can learn, even ahead of coding itself. I'm happy to see Bob leading the way again. I can't wait to hear his perspective and incorporate it into my own practice."
