The Clean Coder will help you become one of them-and earn the pride and fulfillment that they alone possess. They refactor the production code to become more and more abstract and general. Programmers refactor tests to become more and more concrete and specific. These two streams of code evolve in opposite directions. It is written by professionals with an unshakable commitment to craftsmanship. This is (to me) one of the most important revelations about TDD in the last 16 years. Great software isn't written by machines. Great software is something to marvel at: powerful, elegant, functional, a pleasure to work with as both a developer and as a user. When to say 'Yes'-and what yes really means How to foster environments where programmers and teams can thrive How to manage your time, and avoid blind alleys, marshes, bogs, and swamps How to combine enduring attitudes with new development paradigms How to handle unrelenting pressure and avoid burnout How to get into the flow of coding, and get past writer's block How to deal with conflict, tight schedules, and unreasonable managers What it means to behave as a true software craftsman Martin shows how to approach software development with honor, self-respect, and pride work well and work clean communicate and estimate faithfully face difficult decisions with clarity and honesty and understand that deep knowledge comes with a responsibility to act. It covers much more than technique: It is about attitude. This book is packed with practical advice-about everything from estimating and coding to refactoring and testing. Martin introduces the disciplines, techniques, tools, and practices of true software craftsmanship.

In The Clean Coder: A Code of Conduct for Professional Programmers, legendary software expert Robert C. Programmers who endure and succeed amidst swirling uncertainty and nonstop pressure share a common attribute: They care deeply about the practice of creating software.
