Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction

Widely considered one of the best practical guides to programming, Steve McConnell’s original “Code Complete” has been helping developers write better software for over three decades. The author’s timeless techniques and strategies are still relevant in spite of the evolution of programming languages or the shift from waterfall to agile. He revises the impact these changes have had on the software environment together with Jeffrey Van Gogh, Director of Software Engineering at Google. They don’t step away from covering some of the controversial subjects from the book and give relevant advice for programmers that are just entering this space.
