A review by anillak
Code Complete by Steve McConnell

4.0

I agree this book is a must read for programmers. It contains things that have to be learned at one point and the sooner the better. I read it from cover to cover and even though I knew most of the things, either because I read about them in other (newer) books or because I learned them through experience, it was more than useful seeing them again. It might struck you as outdated in some places, but the majority of it is still valid today.

I wish I read it as part of a group so that I can discuss it with people more, as some readers mention in their reviews. I enjoyed the chapter about the personal character the most.
