". lightning does strike twice, and this book is proof." VM (Vicky) Brasseur, Director of Open Source Strategy, Juniper Networks The Pragmatic Programmer is one of those rare tech books you'll read, re read, and read again over the years. Whether you're new to the field or an experienced practitioner, you'll come away with fresh insights each and every time.
Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt wrote the first edition of this influential book in 1999 to help their clients create better software and rediscover the joy of coding. These lessons have helped a generation of programmers examine the very essence of software development, independent of any particular language, framework, or methodology, and the Pragmatic philosophy has spawned hundreds of books, screencasts, and audio books, as well as thousands of careers and success stories.
Now, twenty years later, this new edition re examines what it means to be a modern programmer. Topics range from personal responsibility and career development to architectural techniques for keeping your code flexible and easy to adapt and reuse. Read this book, and you'll learn how to: Fight software rotLearn continuouslyAvoid the trap of duplicating knowledgeWrite flexible, dynamic, and adaptable codeHarness the power of basic toolsAvoid programming by coincidenceLearn real requirementsSolve the underlying problems of concurrent codeGuard against security vulnerabilitiesBuild teams of Pragmatic ProgrammersTake responsibility for your work and careerTest ruthlessly and effectively, including property based testingImplement the Pragmatic Starter KitDelight your usersWritten as a series of self contained sections and filled with classic and fresh anecdotes, thoughtful examples, and interesting analogies, The Pragmatic Programmer illustrates the best approaches and major pitfalls of many different aspects of software development. Whether you're a new coder, an experienced programmer, or a manager responsible for software projects, use these lessons daily, and you'll quickly see improvements in personal productivity, accuracy, and job satisfaction. You'll learn skills and develop habits and attitudes that form the foundation for long term success in your career.
You'll become a Pragmatic Programmer.

Pragmatic Programmer, The: Your Journey to Mastery, 20th Anniversary Edition Reviews
-
With only about ~5 years of professional software engineering experience I was shocked at the lack of new, actionable information in this book.There is a 2 page chapter called "Configuration" that has practically no information besides "use configuration. Better yet configuration as a service". Almost every topic is padded with some war story or analogy that adds no value. There are very few concrete examples that would help you implement what they suggests. There is little in terms of in depth pro & con discussion that would help you decide if what they suggest is right for your project. There very little "in depth" in general.On the other hand while reading this I thought "I couldn't recommend this to my 2nd semester computer science student friend" because the book does seem to require at least some experience & knowledge.I haven't found anything in the book that's wrong, but I also haven't found anything of value.

Absolutely amazing and insightful book that I read in two sittings spread across two days. I've also read a selection of Uncle Bob's books, and compared to his pointless meanderings and pompous language, this books offers practicality, lucidity, and fantastic examples. Every single developer who's transitioning into the mid/mid senior level must read and internalise what this book is talking about.Aside from the content, the print is high quality, and the fact that it's a hardback makes it a perfect addition to my small library of reference books at work. I know it's going to last.

For a book that costs £30 I would have expected it to come with colour pages at a bare minimum, especially given its length.I am hopeful this a mistake by the printing company, and that a replacement can be found quickly. Until then the review remains one star for such a subpar product. Would not recommend

If in IT, especially in programming, this is really a must read and if anything a only read.The reason I say this is that it shows you that being adaptable and applying good principles is best for yourself, team and the deliverable.With the lessons taken from the book I was able to research into other areas which have given me valuable skills.Good luck !

The book is quite well written, but as a college graduate looking for my first role it didn’t particularly help me out. As I’m no longer in any role connected to software.For someone in a role this book would no bother be a good piece of reference material as it does give plenty of food for thought.Some of the info I’ve learnt from it I use in other areas of my life.No doubt I will go back and read this, it has lay under the coffee table for too long being half read.
