Effective Programming: More Than Writing Code

by Jeff Atwood

Jeff Atwood began the Coding Horror blog in 2004, and is convinced that it changed his life. He needed a way to keep track of software development over time – whatever he was thinking about or working on. He researched subjects he found interesting, then documented his research with a public blog post, which he could easily find and refer to later. Over time, increasing numbers of blog visitors found the posts helpful, relevant and interesting. Now, approximately 100,000 readers visit the blog per day and nearly as many comment and interact on the site.

Effective Programming: More Than Writing Code is your one-stop shop for all things programming. Jeff writes with humor and understanding, allowing for both seasoned programmers and newbies to appreciate the depth of his research. From such posts as

“The Programmer’s Bill of Rights” and “Why Cant Programmers... Program?” to “Working With the Chaos Monkey,” this book introduces the importance of writing responsible code, the logistics involved, and how people should view it more as a lifestyle than a career.

Pěkný výběr článků z Atwoodova blogu pro vývojáře, kteří nejsou naprostí ignoranti. I když ti asi většinu článků znají a k vývojářům-ignorantům se jeho doporučení stejně nedostanou ani v této kindle verzi.
Vypustil bych jen nudné kapitoly, ve kterých Jeff Atwood popisuje své pracoviště, vybírá si nové křeslo a horuje pro používání více monitorů.
