Book Review: Book for every programmer
Summary: 5 Stars
I started by reading the first edition of this book. I got the second edition when I was almost finished with the first edition of this book.
After getting the new version of the book I decided to continue reading the old one because I found that there are quite a few differences between the old and the new edition.
This is perhaps one of the best books that I have ever read on programming in my life. The author Steve McConnell has put together a book that is independent of what ever programming language that is used. In the authors words. He wanted to write a good book on software construction because he had looked around and had not found any good books out there on the subject. I would have to agree with him there are not a lot of books on good programming technic. There are hundreds of books on this programming language or that programming language.
Code complete is so good that I feel every programmer should read it. It would be best if in the first year of college every single student read the book. I just don't know how it could fit into a regular curriculum. Even if it does not fit that well into a regular curriculum what is taught in this book is probably more important then what most people learn at school.
I like the book and would advise it to anyone that programs.
I am looking forward to the new edition because the old book didn't have much advice about object oriented programming. Mostly because it was a new way of programming when the book was first written and he didn't want to commit much information to it when object oriented programming was so new. He does talk a little about things that are outdated but the book is still one of the best.
I will wait a while before I read the second edition but I expect to be as satisfied with it as I was this one.
Great book that should be in every programmers library.
