Book review

Some time ago i bought a book called “97 Things Every Programmer Should Know”. As the title states, it is a must read for every programmer. I really enjoyed all short articles about the various subjects.

It draws on the wisdom of crowds on different subjects/areas:

  • Bugs and Fixes
  • Build and Deployment
  • Coding Guidelines and Code Layout
  • Design Principles and Coding Techniques
  • Domain Thinking
  • Errors, Error Handling and Exceptions
  • Learning, Skills and Expertise
  • Nocturnal or Magical
  • Performance, Optimization and Representation
  • Professionalism, Mindset and Attitude
  • Programming Languages and Paradigms
  • Refactoring and Code Care
  • Reuse Versus Repetition
  • Schedules, Deadline, and Estimates
  • Simplicity
  • Teamwork and Collaboration
  • Tests, Testing and Testers
  • Tools, Automation and Development Environements
  • Users and Customers

I made a twitter list of all contributors: “The 97 programmers you should follow “ list. Actually there are no 97 programmers but 73 programmers that wrote 97 articles and i couldnt find all accounts of the different people.

97 programmers you should follow
