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.”
K evin 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
