The Clean Coder

A Code of Conduct for Professional Programmers

De: Robert C. Martin

Narrado por: Theodore O'Brien

Programmers who endure and succeed amidst swirling uncertainty and nonstop pressure share a common attribute: They care deeply about the practice of creating software. They treat it as a craft. They are professionals.

In The Clean Coder: A Code of Conduct for Professional Programmers, legendary software expert Robert C. Martin introduces the disciplines, techniques, tools, and practices of true software craftsmanship. This book is packed with practical advice - about everything from estimating and coding to refactoring and testing. It covers much more than technique: It is about attitude. Martin shows how to approach software development with honor, self-respect, and pride; work well and work clean; communicate and estimate faithfully; face difficult decisions with clarity and honesty; and understand that deep knowledge comes with a responsibility to act.

Listeners will learn:

• What it means to behave as a true software craftsman
• How to deal with conflict, tight schedules, and unreasonable managers
• How to get into the flow of coding, and get past writer’s block
• How to handle unrelenting pressure and avoid burnout
• How to combine enduring attitudes with new development paradigms
• How to manage your time, and avoid blind alleys, marshes, bogs, and swamps
• How to foster environments where programmers and teams can thrive
• When to say “no” - and how to say it
• - When to say “yes” - and what yes really means

Great software is something to marvel at: powerful, elegant, functional, a pleasure to work with as both a developer and as a user. Great software isn’t written by machines. It is written by professionals with an unshakable commitment to craftsmanship. The Clean Coder will help you become one of them - and earn the pride and fulfillment that they alone possess.

a great guide for journeymen and masters alike

Bob's reflection on moments from his journey.
Narrator is has a good voice for storytelling and is pleasant to listen to.

May be mainly useful for the beginners and as a reminder for professionals

I don't share the same views over all ideas presented in the book. While some sound appealing, others smell as an awful anti-pattern.
Some parts of the story sound more like a confession of the author, which bring very little use to the table.
Anyway, I would recommend it specifically to the software developers in the beginning of their carrier.

Thjs is the guide I wish I had twenty years ago.

Evergreen practices that every programmer (or professional at large) needs to strive towards. I own the book, great to have the audio now as well

Great Information!

I enjoyed gaining insight from a knowledgeable developer who has seen it all.

I plan to implement the techniques and concepts mentioned in the book in my daily developer life.

I definitely will mention this book to other developers.

Uncle Bob at his best

100% recommended, don't listen to any negative reviews this is a must read, a credit well worth it.

Must read for every software professional

I can relate to each and every situation mentioned in the book. I go through most of these problems on daily basis and hoping to improve myself by following the techniques mentioned in the book. I’ll definitely going to read it again in few days.

highly recommended for both devs and their manager

Teaches both devs and mgt on commitment and professionalism. provides great examples. Will produce value when applied in the workspace!

Must read for any serious developer

The entire “clean” series is worth a listen. He covers everything you need to know about as a contemporary developer.

If you want to understand software development

The book to listen for everyone who works in software development. Get years of experience in few hours.

How to maybe do this correctly

How to creatE a mentoring system.
I want to find that set of Boolean algebraic codes.
