+
+As the title suggets, this is a book filled with pretty obvious advice for
+programmers.  That is not the same as to say it's not worth reading though. On
+the contrary: I like this book, and think it is a good addition to any
+programmers bookshelf.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+Each advice is self contained, short and to the point. Most are well written,
+and together they cover topics like code style, handling exceptions, design
+issues, choosing your tool, advancing your craft and perhaps most importantly –
+social aspects of being a professional developer.
+
+With well known names like Kevlin Henney (editor of the book), Robert Martin,
+Walter Bright, Scott Meyers, Michael Feathers and many more, the book ranges
+from "you know what you get" to the occational a-ha moments of things you never
+thought about.
+
+While not quite as indispensable as "The Pragmatic Programmer", I feel this
+book easily fits along side it on the bookshelf next to your bed. Flip trhough
+it every now and again, read a passage or two to remind yourself of some of the
+points it makes.
+
+The contents of the book has an open license, and is also available as [a
+gitbook] where you can either read it online, or download it in a suitable
+format for you.
