Każdy ambitny programista staje zatem przed koniecznością zdobycia wiedzy o takich metodach pracy, które pozwolą szybciej i efektywniej realizować projekty, a przy tym zapewniać najwyższą jakość tworzonego kodu. W końcu na podstawie tych właśnie umiejętności oceniana jest także wartość danego programisty w zespole. Z tych właśnie powodów niniejsza książka, będąca przejrzystą kompilacją najlepszych technik programowania, zdobyła tak wielkie uznanie w środowisku zawodowców i studentów, osiągając miano podręcznika kultowego. Przed Tobą drugie, zaktualizowane wydanie słynnej publikacji, w której Steve McConnell przedstawia wszystkie aspekty budowy programów, takie jak jakość czy podejście do procesu wytwarzania. Autor rozwija tu tak istotne zagadnienia, jak przebieg budowy klasy, techniki pracy z danymi i strukturami sterującymi, debugowanie, refaktoryzowanie oraz metody i strategie optymalizacji. Znajdziesz tu dziesiątki list kontrolnych, pomocnych w ocenianiu architektury, jakości klas i procedur, nazw zmiennych czy struktur sterujących, a także ponad 500 przykładów dobrego i złego kodu. Dowiesz się, co było przyczyną wielu typowych problemów w przeszłości i jak ich dzisiaj unikać. Opisane metody pracy pomogą utrzymać kontrolę nad dużymi projektami oraz efektywnie rozwijać i modyfikować oprogramowanie w odpowiedzi na zmiany wymagań. Co ważne, można je skutecznie wykorzystywać niezależnie od stosowanego języka programowania! Dzięki tej książce nauczysz się skutecznie: projektować z zachowaniem minimalnej złożoności; praktycznie wykorzystywać metody pracy zespołowej; programować defensywnie, by unikać błędów w kodzie i jak najszybciej je z niego usuwać; wykorzystywać okazje do refaktoryzacji oraz rozwijania kodu i robić to w sposób bezpieczny; korzystać z metod programowania dopasowanych do projektu; szybko i efektywnie debugować; wcześnie i we właściwy sposób rozwiązywać najważniejsze problemy z konstrukcją oprogramowania; dbać o jakość kodu od pierwszego do ostatniego dnia projektu. Posiądź kluczowe umiejętności tworzenia najwyższej jakości oprogramowania! Steve McConnell jest jednym z najbardziej szanowanych ekspertów w świecie informatyki. Jest głównym programistą w firmie Construx Software oraz znanym autorem bestsellerowych książek, m.in. Kod doskonały i Rapid Development — obie zostały uhonorowane nagrodą Jolt magazynu „Software Development”, przyznawaną co roku najlepszej książce poświęconej procesowi wytwarzania oprogramowania. Brał udział w projektach realizowanych dla takich firm, jak Microsoft czy Boeing, a w 1998 roku czytelnicy magazynu „Software Development” uznali go obok Billa Gatesa i Linusa Torvaldsa za jedną z trzech najbardziej wpływowych osób w branży oprogramowania.
