  Book Information

Many programmers know how to write correct code - code that
works. But not all know how to craft great code - code that
is well written and easy to understand. Code Craft teaches
programmers how to move beyond writing correct code to
writing great code. The book covers code writing concerns,
including code presentation style, variable naming, error
handling, and security; and the wider issues of programming
in the real world, such as good teamwork, development
processes, and documentation. Code Craft presents
language-agnostic advice that is relevant to all developers,
from an author with loads of practical experience. A Q&A
section at the end of each chapter helps readers to review
the material and makes the book suited for academic use as
well.
