Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship by Robert C. Martin

5.0

An incredible book that leaves with you a sense of pride in writing good and understandable code. I think that is a topic that you don't see in the programming courses in college a lot. You get teach how to program, that there are an infinity number of ways to get to the same solution, but you never are given a set of standards to improve that solution once you have it. It's more like mash something together, if it works for one or two cases great, move on to the next problem.

There needs to be a sense of pride in the code as the secondary product we are creating (the primary being the product/service). It's pretty much a presentation card for whoever comes after us when we are finished with a project.
