This is a great book. I have found the concepts informative and helpful. I'm glad I decided to get it. As an aid, I listened to the audio book version while I followed along reading it. This made taking notes a dream. I am now on my way to leveling up my programming skills.

There is a lot of good advice in this book.

This book requires to do some actual work and to read and understand the code examples. And that is a really good thing. There is a lot of good advice in this book. I don't necessarily agree with everything Uncle Bob writes, but that is something that he covers right at the start of the book.

The choice of Java as language for the examples is perhaps not ideal, because it is so verbose. But that is not a good enough reason for me not to give 5 stars.

It's a long book. But filled with loads of good details.

I mean he calls himself Uncle Bob...

I have worked in both legacy code bases and green field projects over a long career. I bought this book many years ago, since I always am willing to learn, and had ample time to reflect on it. It's advice is not too bad, mostly obvious, but rather shallow and focused on the details I can quickly teach graduates, rather than the real depth I want them to think about. Still I didn't think strongly about posting a negative review until I looked at one of the author's own codebases, FitNesse. It defies so many of the author's own principles it beggers belief, but moreover is has a dreadful design for important reasons he doesn't cover. In this I am looking throughout the project's history: it's a house of cards. And that is very telling. Because here is a mediocre book from an author who rather incredibly calls himself "Uncle Bob", as if he is some friendly elder dispensing wisdom. Why do we fall for it, in a field of engineering and science? He would be better to mend his own fences before teaching others how to paint them.

Gedrucktes PDF!!!

Reviewed in Germany on 7 November 2017

Das Buch sollte jeder Entwickler kennen. Pflichtlektüre! Aber, bitte nicht hier bestellen! Was man bekommt ist ein gedrucktes PDF, welches dummerweise in der falschen Papiergröße bedruckt ist. Man hat also an den Rändern riesige weiße Flächen. Das Buch ist daher unnötigerweise ca 25% größer als das Original. Zudem ist die verwendete Tinte sehr hell. Die Codebeispiele sind kaum zu lesen. Das Cover ist im Vergleich zum Original verwaschen. Das Buch geht sofort zurück und wird im Laden (zur Ansicht) bestellt. Jetzt weiß ich warum die Lieferzeit auch 3 Wochen betrug. Das Buch wird offensichtlich auf Anfrage gedruckt.

Bei den beigefügten Bildern sieht man das Original (von der Firma) und das hier bestellte Buch (PDF Druck)

Leider eine billige Kopie, bitte nicht bestellen.

Meine Renzension bezieht sich ausschließlich auf das erhaltene Exemplar. Ich habe direkt bei Amazon bestellt (Verkauf & Versand durch Amazon), kein Marketplace.

Wie bereits von anderen Personen festgestellt, habe auch ich leider eine billige Kopie des Originals erhalten - vermutlich ein Druck der PDF-Version. Der Druck ist schlecht, das Format ist unnötigerweise sehr viel größer, das Cover ist verschwommen/verpixelt, kein bzw. weißer Buchrücken und -rückseite.

Hierfür über 29€ zu verlangen grenzt an Betrug. Ich habe das Exemplar unmittelbar zurückgeschickt. Schade.

This is a good book for beginner developers

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2018

This is a good book for beginner developers, or for whom who just want to review and refresh all the principles of the clean code. If you are an experienced programmer, I am sure that sometimes you will find this book obvious, and sometimes very illustrative.

Before reading this book, I recommend having a good understanding of Java and Object-Oriented programming. Don't forget Abstract classes, Interfaces, and Polymorphism.

In my opinion, it has more than 100 pages in excess.The appendixes and the chapter 14 (Refinement) don't contribute to anything. They are just boring. Also, I think that chapter 13 (Systems) could seem a little bit complex for beginners. It needs a very specific knowledge of Java, with concepts like EJB, JNDI, Proxies, and so on.

On the other hand, every concept is explained accurately with lots of examples. In addition, the "Smells and Heuristics" chapter summarizes the essence of this book very well.

Conteúdo Excelente!

Sou estudante de Ciência da Computação e realmente esse livro contribuiu muito para a minha visão do que é o ato de programar. Acabei pegando a versão inglês, pois li alguns comentários que diziam que a tradução não estava bem feita. Até entendo o porquê, acho muito difícil traduzir os códigos do livro e alguns conceitos. Porém, já aviso de antemão, o livro demanda bastante da sua dedicação!
