## Description

Code Complete [McConnell, Steve] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Code Complete

Review: The best coding book I ever read - The best coding book I ever read, I've even bought copies for friends & family. It will teach you how to code like a pro, qualifying you for higher-level programming jobs even with less years of experience. Hopefully the latest edition has some web programming examples too, but that's a detail.
Review: Must read for professional programmers - If you've had to struggle through maintaining code written by others who haven't a clue about how to name functions or variables, this book is a great way to point them in the right direction. I'm a Computer Science major who has programmed professionally for 20 years, and this book really polished my skills. If Steve's guidelines are followed, readable code is the result that requires very few comments to be understandable. This book was strongly recommended reading at my previous job and rightly so.
