Some good, some bad
Rated out of 5 stars, July 12th, 2009
This was a very interesting book with some good very clear, thought provoking articles, while others were written by people who were not used to writing. The book suffers from an inconsistant style and some chapters do let it down. Overall you can pick out the chapters that interst you and study them, leaing the other chapters out. -
Not as good as it seems
Rated out of 5 stars, December 12th, 2008
Whilst some of the chapters in this book are real gems, the others are irrelevant. The target audience is too wide, too many languages are used and the chances are it won't make you a better programmer.
I would skip this and read a book like Clean Code instead.
