The Pragmatic Programmer: Your Journey To Mastery, 20th Anniversary Edition (2nd Edition)

In my opinion, this book should be a required read for anyone of any level and in any position in the software development/engineering field. This book teaches so many solid and timeless principles that could possibly take years or decades for the average person to learn, if ever. Before reading this book, I didn't know where I stood as a developer after 15 years of doing it. I'm self-taught, and also learned from my surroundings, assuming that people in higher positions than me must know better - now I never assume anything about anyone or anything. I never got much (useful) feedback but I wanted to be as good as I could be in my field. Reading this book and applying what I learned from it eventually lead to a great confidence in my way of problem solving and coding, and this confidence naturally caused me to be happier, and that's when I realized that when I'm confident and happy I produce my best work that I'm proud of. Not only do I feel like I have leveled up as a software engineer, but I also feel like I leveled up as a person. I also feel validated for a few things I was already doing, and learned that soft skills (communication, accountability, etc) are just as important as hard skills (coding). I've already convinced at least 3 developers to buy their own copy, and I'm about to suggest it to a few more, so I think I need to look up some kind of referral/commission program. This book is worth every penny and has me going back to it for reference all the time.

Excellent shipping protection, they arrived in perfect condition, and the quality of the books is 10/10

The best purchase i ever made. I wish i came across this book much early in my career. I am glad that i found it atleast now. When i got the book i just glimpsed randomly and i thought this would be preachy. But my god i am so happy that i was wrong. Simple yet beautifully written with short stories. There are little nuggets of inspiration and wisdow all over the book like "Show them a glimpse of the future and you will get everyone to rally around". BTW I am still in the first chapter. This should be the christmas present for all the programmers.

I'm listening to this audio book as a way to get a hold of the material while doing other things. Rather than being a direct reading, it's more of a dramatization of the book, which wasn't really what I was looking for. The reader is bright, enthusiastic and cheery. As for the book itself, it's a fairly encouraging look at software engineering from two veterans. Worth your attention.

The book teaches timeless principles that are suitable for all levels software engineers. It's easy, enjoyable to read. There are many new things to me like property-based testing, the apocryphal frog that is similar to project scope creep.

I listened to the audiobook while driving to and from work and ended up buying the physical book for my office so that people can read it. It's a great book to help you learn how to think like a competent programmer. Highly suggested by me :)

La pasta es gruesa, el papel es de buena calidad. En general es un libro con un muy buen acabado. En cuanto a contenido, tiene buenos consejos y prácticas de la industria real. Aún no lo termino

I seen this book popping up as a "must read" for a programmer so I decided to get it. I am still a student and have no professional experience. This book is a great read for someone who is still learning, or looking for answers to "why" ? It is a good quick reference guide. It provides a nice break from all of the really technical reading that is needed for all the classes. It has key concepts all in one place. Authors talk not only about the code but personal responsibility, career development and architectural techniques.

Great book to read not just for programmers.Worth reading more than once. This book will definitely help you in building better software and think responsibly.

I am an experienced developer associated with code for last 20 years. Reading a book like this is a deja-vu in many sense. It is tantalising experience as the pages turn in this book. The most I liked about this book is the simplicity and usage of language. It communicates in easy to follow yet coveys what matters most to me in my professional life. Also the way the each topic is capsuled makes the reading experience smooth. There is lot to reflect by reading this book. It does not matter what is your experience, this book will lay foundational aspects of engineering within you.
