Features: This book will tell you how to program in a way that you can follow. You might not think this is a difficult thing, but it's not that simple. Why? One reason is that not all programming books are written by programmers. Many of them are compiled by language designers or journalists in collaboration with them, intending to promote their works. Those books tell you how to express yourself through a certain programming language—this is certainly important, but it's only a small part of what programmers do. "The Pragmatic Programmer" is composed of a series of independent parts, covering topics ranging from personal responsibility and career development to various architectural techniques for keeping code flexible, adaptable, and reusable. It comprehensively explains the best practices and major pitfalls in many aspects of software development, using many entertaining anecdotes, thoughtful examples, and interesting analogies. Whether you are a beginner, an experienced programmer, or a software project manager, this book is suitable for you to read.
