Claus Zirkel
5.0 out of 5 starsThere is a lot of good advice in this book.
Reviewed in Australia on 29 April 2018
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is worth it for any programming language.
Reviewed in Australia on 27 March 2021

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.

Arrived in great condition, book was mint and no creases. Some reviewers had faded ink in theirs. I had no such problem with mine, and everything is in page order!

Little Bobby Tables
2.0 out of 5 stars I mean he calls himself Uncle Bob...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 August 2019
Verified Purchase
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Gedrucktes PDF!!!
Reviewed in Germany on 7 November 2017
Verified Purchase
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)
