The Pragmatic Programmer

What others in the trenches say about The Pragmatic Programmer... “The cool thing about this book is that it’s great for keeping the programming process fresh. The book helps you to continue to grow and clearly comes from people who have been there.” —Kent Beck, author of Extreme Programming Explained: Embrace Change “I found this book to be a great mix of solid advice and wonderful analogies!” —Martin Fowler, author of Refactoring and UML Distilled “I would buy a copy, read it twice, then tell all my colleagues to run out and grab a copy. This is a book I would never loan because I would worry about it being lost.” —Kevin Ruland, Management Science, MSG-Logistics “The wisdom and practical experience of the authors is obvious. The topics presented are relevant and useful.... By far its greatest strength for me has been the outstanding analogies—tracer bullets, broken windows, and the fabulous helicopter-based explanation of the need for orthogonality, especially in a crisis situation. I have little doubt that this book will eventually become an excellent source of useful information for journeymen programmers and expert mentors alike.” —John Lakos, author of Large-Scale C++ Software Design “This is the sort of book I will buy a dozen copies of when it comes out so I can give it to my clients.” —Eric Vought, Software Engineer “Most modern books on software development fail to cover the basics of what makes a great software developer, instead spending their time on syntax or technology where in reality the greatest leverage possible for any software team is in having talented developers who really know their craft well. An excellent book.” —Pete McBreen, Independent Consultant “Since reading this book, I have implemented many of the practical suggestions and tips it contains. Across the board, they have saved my company time and money while helping me get my job done quicker! This should be a desktop reference for everyone who works with code for a living.” —Jared Richardson, Senior Software Developer, iRenaissance, Inc. “I would like to see this issued to every new employee at my company....” —Chris Cleeland, Senior Software Engineer, Object Computing, Inc. “If I’m putting together a project, it’s the authors of this book that I want. . . . And failing that I’d settle for people who’ve read their book.” —Ward Cunningham Straight from the programming trenches, The Pragmatic Programmer cuts through the increasing specialization and technicalities of modern software development to examine the core process--taking a requirement and producing working, maintainable code that delights its users.

Your Journey to Mastery

La prima edizione di Pragmatic Programmer, pubblicata nel 1999 e tradotta in dieci lingue, è diventata un classico, aiutando una generazione di programmatori a comprendere l'essenza stessa dello sviluppo software, indipendentemente dal linguaggio, dal framework o dalla metodologia utilizzati. Questa nuova edizione, che celebra il 20° anniversario della pubblicazione, offre uno sguardo rinnovato sul panorama dello sviluppo software, invitando il lettore a rivedere prassi di lavoro consolidate con l'intento di migliorare la produttività, l'accuratezza e la soddisfazione per il codice prodotto. I temi affrontati spaziano dalla responsabilità individuale alla crescita professionale fino alle tecniche di architettura software che consentono di scrivere codice più flessibile, dinamico e riutilizzabile. Rivisto totalmente e arricchito da nuovi argomenti, suggerimenti ed esempi, questo libro è oggi più che mai una pietra miliare della manualistica informatica e un testo chiave per sviluppatori, esperti o alle prime armi, che vogliono acquisire e consolidare competenze per una carriera di successo.

Andy Hunt führt Sie in diesem E-Book durch Lern- und Verhaltenstheorie und durch Erkenntnisse der kognitiven und Neurowissenschaften. Sie werden überraschende Aspekte darüber kennen lernen, wie Ihr Gehirn arbeitet und wie Sie Vorteile daraus ziehen können, indem Sie Ihre eigenen Denk- und Lernfähigkeiten stärken. Sie werden sehen, wie Sie Ihre Wetware refaktorieren können - also Ihr Gehirn umgestalten und neu verdrahten -, damit Sie Ihre Arbeit effektiver und kreativer angehen können. Software entsteht in unseren Köpfen, nicht in einem Editor, einer IDE oder einem Design-Tool. Deshalb wird es Zeit, pragmatischer an das Denken und Lernen heranzugehen. Egal ob Sie Programmierer, Manager, Wissensarbeiter, Technikfreak oder analytischer Denker sind oder ob Sie einfach nur Ihr Gehirn tunen möchten, dieses E-Book wird Ihnen dabei helfen.

This book shows how to write tests, but more importantly, it goes where other books fear to tread and gives you concrete advice and examples of what to test--the common things that go wrong in all of our programs. Discover the tricky hiding places where bugs breed, and how to catch them using the freely available JUnit framework. It's easy to learn how to think of all the things in your code that are likely to break. We'll show you how with helpful mnemonics, summarized in a handy tip sheet (also available from our www.pragmaticprogrammer.com website) to help you remember all this stuff.

Solvents are ubiquitous throughout the chemical industry and are found in many consumer products. As a result, interest in solvents and their environmental impact has been steadily increasing. However, in order to achieve maximum integration of new green solvents into the relevant chemical sectors, clarification of the social, economic, and environmental implications of solvent substitution are needed. This book explores the solvent life cycle, highlighting the challenges faced at various points, from production, through the supply-chain and downstream use to end-of-life treatment. It also discusses the potential benefits that a green chemistry and bio-based economy approach could bring. The current state-of-the-art of green solvents is evaluated along these lines, in addition to reviewing their applications with an appreciation of sustainability criteria. Providing a critical assessment on emerging solvents and featuring case studies and perspectives from different sectors, this is an important reference for academics and industrialists working with solvents, as well as policy-makers involved in bio-based initiatives.

Jubiläumsausgabe

Der pragmatische Programmierer

Wie programmiert man gute Software? Was ist ein guter Programmierer? Viele Bücher sind geschrieben worden, um Prozesse, Abläufe, Code und Mitarbeiter zu verbessern -- betrachtet man aktuelle Software, scheint es bei der Umsetzung so vieler Tipps zu hapern. Schreibt ein guter Entwickler bloß fleißig acht Stunden tollen Code pro Tag? Andrew Hunt und David Thomas beantworten im erfolgreichen Pragmatic Programmer diese Frage, die man jetzt auch auf Deutsch im Hanser Verlag nachlesen kann. Ein guter Entwickler ist ein Pragmatiker -- er ist nicht interesselos und werkelt bloß seinen Code herunter, sondern er hat das Projekt und seine Realisierung vor Augen. Dazu bringt er ein paar Fähigkeiten mit, die man nicht in einem Informatikstudium oder Handbuch zu Algorithmen nachlesen kann. Er ist interessiert an neuen Technologien, er lernt gern dazu, er probiert neue Dinge aus und er arbeitet sinnvoll organisiert: Er testet seine Software, er verwendet die richtigen Werkzeuge und beherrscht sie, er übt sich darin, sinnvolle Zeitabschätzungen über seine Arbeit und das Projekt zu liefern. Er lässt sich von wilden Marketing-Versprechungen von Produkt X nicht beeindrucken und bildet sich eine eigene Meinung. Um diese Fähigkeiten und wie man sie sich aneignet geht es im Pragmatischen Programmierer -- nicht um eine tolle Architektur X oder ein Projektverfahren Y. Das Handbuch richtet sich explizit an Entwickler -- die zentrale Frage ist die eigene Arbeit und ihre Verbesserung und nicht wie in vielen Handbüchern zu Projektmanagement die Verbesserung der Arbeit anderer. Hunt liefert viele hilfreiche Tipps -- einige sollten zwar selbstverständlich sein und bieten nicht viel mehr als gesunden Menschenverstand und ein gewisses Qualitätsbewusstsein der eigenen Arbeit gegenüber, andere Hinweise sind für unerfahrene Entwickler sicher inspirierend. Der Pragmatische Programmierer ist ein amerikanisches Buch -- wer diesen Ansatz und die Sprache mag, wird ein sehr gutes und hilfreiches Buch mit interessanten Gedanken finden. Es richtet sich an Entwickler, die neue Impulse für ihre Arbeit suchen oder unerfahrene Entwickler, die sich das erste Mal fragen, was eigentlich ein guter Programmierer sein könnte. --Susanne Schmidt.
