This book covers every dimension, from small-scale function level to entire application-level-scale. It presents various principles for designing software that structure it logically and make development, maintenance and augmentation way easier. It also incorporates the necessary nuance.
Very strong. Though it presents advanced high-end concepts for designing large-scale applications, which aren't all super-applicable for me, I learnt a lot.
June2023: Very good book covering architecture from low to high-level scopes. I would summarize it with the Dependeny Principle: Dependencies should ALWAYS point from low-level to high-level code....more
This book is all about meta-skills of software developers. Like how to say yes/no, manage time and health, work under pressure or in teams and so on.

For me, this was not incredibly interesting and I think one can get a deeper, more profound understanding by learning such things from other books that focus on them. Yet, this book summarized them properly....more

This book conveys the fundamentals of writing clean code, whose importance cannot be overstated.
I subtracted one star, because it often assumes the reader knows varios concepts and it uses lots of unexplained abbreviations. I am an incredibly unexperienced developer and that is probably the primary reason for this discrepancy; that being said I generally expect books to not require prerequisite knowledge....more
