Book Reviews of Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction
Book Review: You won't sharpen your skills after reading this book
Summary: 1 Stars
I have no idea how this book is highly rated.
It's a cookbook about everything and every known "skill name" ( probably ).
But can you learn something by hearing lots of skill name?
"Be aware of the difference between string pointers and character arrays".....
Skill is practical only after measuring trade-off and context.
Got lots of free time?
Then read B.S's The C++ Programming Language "again".
You will learn something every time.
Definitely Garbage book, waste precious forest resource.
Summary of Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction
For more than a decade, Steve McConnell, one of the premier authors and voices in the software community, has helped change the way developers write code--and produce better software. Now his classic book, CODE COMPLETE, has been fully updated and revised with best practices in the art and science of constructing software. Whether you're a new developer seeking a sound introduction to the practice of software development or a veteran exploring strategic new approaches to problem solving, you'll find a wealth of practical suggestions and methods for strengthening your skills. Topics include design, applying good techniques to construction, eliminating errors, planning, managing construction activities, and relating personal character to superior software. This new edition features fully updated information on programming techniques, including the emergence of Web-style programming, and integrated coverage of object-oriented design. You'll also find new code examples--both good and bad--in C++, Microsoft(r) Visual Basic(r), C#, and Java, though the focus is squarely on techniques and practices.Software Engineering Books
