Pragmatic Programmer: Your Path to Mastery
39.99 €
This edition is one of those rare examples of technical literature that is worth reading, re-reading, and re-reading again for years to come.
The reader, whether a beginner or an experienced software developer, will always be able to get fresh ideas from it. David Thomas and Andrew Hunt wrote the first edition of this wonderful book in 1999 to assist their clients in creating better software and to help them discover the fun of programming. The lessons learned from this book have helped an entire generation of programmers learn the very essence of software development, regardless of the particular language, library, or methodology. The book's pragmatic philosophical approach to software development has spread widely, spawned hundreds of other books and articles, and has launched thousands of successful careers and professional growth stories. Now, twenty years later, in this new edition, the authors take a fresh look at what the modern programmer is all about. This edition covers topics ranging from a developer's personal responsibilities, to career development, to architectural techniques that allow source code flexibility and the ability to change easily. This book is written as a coherent series of self-contained topic-sections, peppered with a fair share of classic and fresh anecdotes, carefully crafted examples, and interesting analogies, thus demonstrating the best approaches to software development and the major pitfalls along the way. Beginners or experienced programmers, as well as software project managers, will be able to apply many of the lessons in this book to their daily activities, quickly achieving improvements in productivity, punctuality, and job satisfaction. The book will help the reader build and develop the skills and attitudes that form a solid foundation for his successful career in the long run. He will eventually become a pragmatic programmer.
