Simply phenomenal. I liked this book so much that I literally read the entire thing in a single sitting in about 4 hours. I simply could not put it down.

I'm adding this book to my list of "absolute must-reads for programmers" right alongside The Pragmatic Programmer.

Uncle Bob's new book, The Clean Coder, is a perfect companion to Clean Code. Whereas Clean Code dealt specifically with how a professional programmer treats his or her code, The Clean Coder is more about how a professional programmer conducts him or herself.

Reading this book was simply a wonderful experience. I agree with almost everything Bob says in the book, and I found myself often pumping my fist thinking "hell yeah, that's what I've been trying to tell my co-workers!"

The Clean Coder puts into elegant words a number of thoughts I've had, and it demands I rise to a higher level of professionalism. If I were to compile a bible of programming, The Clean Coder would be one of the books.

If you're a programmer and you take your job seriously, you owe it to yourself to read The Clean Coder.
