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. + + + +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. + +[a gitbook]: https://legacy.gitbook.com/book/97-things-every-x-should-know/97-things-every-programmer-should-know/details -- cgit v1.2.3
