Clean Code, Bob Martin, Prentice-Hall, 2008.
Bob Martin tackles the challenges of making code sparkling clean. He provides numerous guidelines, and demonstrates their utility in action. I particularly appreciated some of the longer examples where he really works them over. You’ll especially find this book compelling if you’re interested in craftsmanship, refactoring, and/or concrete design. (Reviewed Feb., ’08)
