Clean Code - A Handbook Of Agile Software Craftsmanship

by Robert C. Martin

31,79€ + 10% CARD

 Even bad code can function. But if code isn’t clean, it can bring a development organization to its knees. Every year, countless hours and significant resources are lost because of poorly written code. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Noted software expert Robert C. Martin presents a revolutionary paradigm with Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship. Martin has teamed up with his colleagues from Object Mentor to distill their best agile practice of cleaning code "on the fly" into a book that will instill within you the values of a software craftsman and make you a better programmer—but only if you work at it. What kind of work will you be doing? You’ll be reading code—lots of code. And you will be challenged to think about what’s right about that code, and what’s wrong with it. More importantly, you will be challenged to reassess your professional values and your commitment to your craft. Clean Code is divided into three parts. The first describes the principles, patterns, and practices of writing clean code. The second part consists of several case studies of increasing complexity. Each case study is an exercise in cleaning up code—of transforming a code base that has some problems into one that is sound and efficient. The third part is the payoff: a single chapter containing a list of heuristics and "smells" gathered while creating the case studies. The result is a knowledge base that describes the way we think when we write, read, and clean code. Readers will come away from this book understanding • How to tell the difference between good and bad code - How to write good code and how to transform bad code into good code - How to create good names, good functions, good objects, and good classes - How to format code for maximum readability - How to implement complete error handling without obscuring code logic - How to unit test and practice test-driven development This book is a must for any developer, software engineer, project manager, team lead, or systems analyst with an interest in producing better code.

Functional Design - Principles, Patterns, And Practices

by Robert C. Martin

46,36€ + 10% CARD

 A Practical Guide to Better, Cleaner Code with Functional Programming In Functional Design, renowned software engineer Robert C. Martin ("Uncle Bob") explains how and why to use functional programming to build better systems for real customers. Martin compares conventional object-oriented coding structures in Java to those enabled by functional languages, identifies the best roles for each, and shows how to build better systems by judiciously using them in context. Martin''s approach is pragmatic, minimizing theory in favor of "in the-trenches" problem-solving. Through accessible examples, working developers will discover how the easy-to-learn, semantically rich Clojure language can help them improve code cleanliness, design, discipline, and outcomes. Martin examines well-known SOLID principles and Gang of Four Design Patterns from a functional perspective, revealing why patterns remain extremely valuable to functional programmers, and how to use them to achieve superior results. <ul> <li>Understand functional basics: immutability, persistent data, recursion, iteration, laziness, and statefulness</li> <li>Contrast functional and object approaches through expertly crafted case studies</li> <li>Explore functional design techniques for data flow</li> <li>Use classic SOLID principles to write better Clojure code</li> <li>Master pragmatic approaches to functional testing, GUIs, and concurrency</li> <li>Make the most of design patterns in functional environments</li> <li>Walk through building an enterprise-class Clojure application</li> </ul> "Functional Design exudes ''classic-on-arrival''. Bob pulls back the curtain to reveal how functional programming elements make software design simple yet pragmatic. He does so without alienating experienced object-oriented programmers coming from languages like C#, C++, or Java." --Janet A.

Java Application Architecture - Modularity Patterns With Examples Using Osgi

by Kirk Knoernschild

47,69€ + 10% CARD

 "I’m dancing! By god I’m dancing on the walls. I’m dancing on the ceiling. I’m ecstatic. I’m overjoyed. I’m really, really pleased." -From the Foreword by Robert C. Martin (a.k.a. Uncle Bob) This isn’t the first book on Java application architecture. No doubt it won’t be the last. But rest assured, this title is different. The way we develop Java applications is about to change, and this title explores the new way of Java application architecture. Over the past several years, module frameworks have been gaining traction on the Java platform, and upcoming versions of Java will include a module system that allows you to leverage the power of modularity to build more resilient and flexible software systems. Modularity isn’t a new concept. But modularity will change the way we develop Java applications, and you’ll only be able to realize the benefits if you understand how to design more modular software systems. Java Application Architecture will help you <ul> <li>Design modular software that is extensible, reusable, maintainable, and adaptable</li> <li>Design modular software today, in anticipation of future platform support for modularity</li> <li>Break large software systems into a flexible composite of collaborating modules</li> <li>Understand where to place your architectural focus</li> <li>Migrate large-scale monolithic applications to applications with a modular architecture</li> <li>Articulate the advantages of modular software to your team</li> </ul> Java Application Architecture lays the foundation you’ll need to incorporate modular design thinking into your development initiatives. Before it walks you through eighteen patterns that will help you architect modular software, it lays a solid foundation that shows you why modularity is a critical weapon in your arsenal of design tools. Throughout, you’ll find examples that illustrate the concepts. By designing modular applications today, you are positioning yourself for the platform and architecture of tomorrow. That’s why Uncle Bob is dancing.

Working Effectively With Legacy Code

by Michael Feathers

60,94€ + 10% CARD

 Get more out of your legacy systems: more performance, functionality, reliability, and manageability Is your code easy to change? Can you get nearly instantaneous feedback when you do change it? Do you understand it? If the answer to any of these questions is no, you have legacy code, and it is draining time and money away from your development efforts. In this book, Michael Feathers offers start-to-finish strategies for working more effectively with large, untested legacy code bases. This book draws on material Michael created for his renowned Object Mentor seminars: techniques Michael has used in mentoring to help hundreds of developers, technical managers, and testers bring their legacy systems under control. The topics covered include <ul> <li>Understanding the mechanics of software change: adding features, fixing bugs, improving design, optimizing performance</li> <li>Getting legacy code into a test harness</li> <li>Writing tests that protect you against introducing new problems</li> <li>Techniques that can be used with any language or platform—with examples in Java, C++, C, and C#</li> <li>Accurately identifying where code changes need to be made</li> <li>Coping with legacy systems that aren''t object-oriented</li> <li>Handling applications that don''t seem to have any structure</li> </ul> This book also includes a catalog of twenty-four dependency-breaking techniques that help you work with program elements in isolation and make safer changes.

 The Robert C. Martin Clean Code Collection consists of two bestselling eBooks: <ul> <li>Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftmanship</li> <li>The Clean Coder: A Code of Conduct for Professional Programmers</li> </ul> In Clean Code, legendary software expert Robert C. Martin has teamed up with his colleagues from Object Mentor to distill their best agile practice of cleaning code "on the fly" into a book that will instill within you the values of a software craftsman and make you a better programmer--but only if you work at it. You will be challenged to think about what’s right about that code and what’s wrong with it. More important, you will be challenged to reassess your professional values and your commitment to your craft. In The Clean Coder, Martin introduces the disciplines, techniques, tools, and practices of true software craftsmanship. This book is packed with practical advice--about everything from estimating and coding to refactoring and testing. It covers much more than technique: It is about attitude. Martin shows how to approach software development with honor, self-respect, and pride; work well and work clean; communicate and estimate faithfully; face difficult decisions with clarity and honesty; and understand that deep knowledge comes with a responsibility to act. Readers of this collection will come away understanding <ul> <li>How to tell the difference between good and bad code</li> <li>How to write good code and how to transform bad code into good code</li> <li>How to create good names, good functions, good objects, and good classes</li> <li>How to format code for maximum readability</li> <li>How to implement complete error handling without obscuring code logic</li> <li>How to unit test and practice test-driven development</li> <li>What it means to behave as a true software craftsman </li> <li>How to deal with conflict, tight schedules, and unreasonable managers </li> <li>How to get into the flow of coding and get past writer’s block </li> <li>How to handle unrelenting pressure and avoid burnout </li> <li>How to combine enduring attitudes with new development paradigms </li> <li>How to manage your time and avoid blind alleys, marshes, bogs, and swamps </li> <li>How to foster environments where programmers and teams can thrive </li> <li>When to say "No"--and how to say it </li> <li>When to say "Yes"--and what yes really means</li> </ul>

Java Application Architecture - Modularity Patterns With Examples Using Osgi

by Kirk Knoernschild

46,36€ + 10% CARD

 "I’m dancing! By god I’m dancing on the walls. I’m dancing on the ceiling. I’m ecstatic. I’m overjoyed. I’m really, really pleased." -From the Foreword by Robert C. Martin (a.k.a. Uncle Bob) This isn’t the first book on Java application architecture. No doubt it won’t be the last. But rest assured, this title is different. The way we develop Java applications is about to change, and this title explores the new way of Java application architecture. Over the past several years, module frameworks have been gaining traction on the Java platform, and upcoming versions of Java will include a module system that allows you to leverage the power of modularity to build more resilient and flexible software systems. Modularity isn’t a new concept. But modularity will change the way we develop Java applications, and you’ll only be able to realize the benefits if you understand how to design more modular software systems. Java Application Architecture will help you <ul> <li>Design modular software that is extensible, reusable, maintainable, and adaptable</li> <li>Design modular software today, in anticipation of future platform support for modularity</li> <li>Break large software systems into a flexible composite of collaborating modules</li> <li>Understand where to place your architectural focus</li> <li>Migrate large-scale monolithic applications to applications with a modular architecture</li> <li>Articulate the advantages of modular software to your team</li> </ul> Java Application Architecture lays the foundation you’ll need to incorporate modular design thinking into your development initiatives. Before it walks you through eighteen patterns that will help you architect modular software, it lays a solid foundation that shows you why modularity is a critical weapon in your arsenal of design tools. Throughout, you’ll find examples that illustrate the concepts. By designing modular applications today, you are positioning yourself for the platform and architecture of tomorrow. That’s why Uncle Bob is dancing.
