The Elements of Programming Style

Nikolay Bachiyski

It's ridiculous that this book was written 35 years ago and programmers still struggle with simple common sense. The software industry constantly reminds how young it is.

All the advice in the books is great and thoughtful.

Why 4 stars? The examples are so outdated that the levels of abstractions changed and it looks like the authors are mixing them.
