A Guide to Writing Maintainable, Readable, and Robust Code
Even bad code can function. But if code isn't clean, it can bring a development organization to its knees. Each year, countless hours and significant resources are lost because of poorly written code. But it doesn't have to be that way.
Noted software expert Robert C. Martin presents a revolutionary paradigm with Clean Code. Martin has teamed up with his colleagues from Object Mentor to distill their best agile practice of cleaning code "on the fly" into a book packed with real-world case studies. This guide is divided into three parts: the principles, patterns, and practices of writing clean code; a series of increasingly challenging case studies; and a comprehensive heuristic matrix gathered while cleaning up code. The result is an invaluable reference for any developer, project manager, or systems analyst who wants to master the craft of professional software development.

This workbook changed the way I study. I'd been reading and re-reading content for months, but the process training chapter taught me how to actually think through questions. Passed on my next attempt.

The diagnostic worksheet alone was worth the price. I spent 15 minutes on it and immediately knew where my gaps were. No other prep book had ever helped me identify that so clearly.

Really solid workbook. The NGN scenarios are especially useful — hard to find good practice material for those question types. Only wish there were more practice sets, but 200 is still plenty.
