Reading the "clean" series for the first time, I didn't think it was a good book

The first time I read it, I didn't think it was a good book

Remember the first contact Clean series , It was during my graduate school . Tell the truth , The first time I read it, I didn't think it was a good book . But after working for a while , With some practical experience , Go back and read again , Just realize the wonderful content in the book , This is probably the only way to grow up . When we Have not experienced setbacks , Tips for the elder , It's always hard to empathize , I even think it's wrong . But when we really have the same problem , Only then discovered The experience of our predecessors is really wonderful .

As someone who's been here , Now I strongly recommend that you have one Clean series , Because this series not only introduces various aspects of the software development process Excellent practice cases , Let us know the neat code 、 The benefits of a clean Architecture , And how to keep clean ; And for What kind of professional qualities should a good programmer have , And guide us to make the best software Bottom thinking mode , It is also of great guiding significance . Perhaps with the development of society and Technology , Some cases are slowly becoming inapplicable , But our professional quality and thinking mode will accompany us all our life , These underlying logic will always guide our design and practice in the future .

Introduced so much of the past , Let 's talk about it again Bob Uncle's latest book 《 The way of craftsmanship and neatness 》. When I first saw the title of the book , I can't guess what this book will say for a while , So the moment I got the sample chapter , I'll go straight to the subject of the book , To find out ！ The first chapter of this book is called “ Craftsmanship ”, The author believes that the essence of doing something well requires good guidance and a lot of experience . however , In today's software industry , There are a lot of programmers who don't work long , So they lack enough practical experience and experience precipitation . meanwhile , every other 5 The number of programmers will double in , So the percentage of excellent programmers will continue to decline . There are fewer and fewer good programmers , It will be more and more difficult to guarantee the quality of software products . therefore , In the following chapters, the author expounds the factors that determine the skill level Three elements ： Discipline 、 Standards and professional ethics , To help developers and managers change and improve the way the team works , Maximize the production of high-quality software products . From the content division of these three parts , This book Not just for front-line developers , It is also very helpful for managers . If you are not satisfied with your current development tasks or the way the team works , Maybe you can get some new inspiration from this book .

It is said that this book will be Uncle Bob's masterpiece , So the publication of this book , I will definitely put it in my pocket , Gather together Clean series . Although we can't summon the Dragon , But as before Clean Like a series of books , When I'm confused , I will also turn it out to find some inspiration from my predecessors . If you're like me , I intend to fight in the software industry for a lifetime , So such a Book , It is recommended that you also have one .

from “ Focus on Technology ” To “ Pay attention to people

Uncle Bob proposed , Since the modern world runs on Software , Software developers should shoulder the great responsibility of maintaining the normal operation of the world . This means that software developers must master enough skills , Observe discipline that is strict enough , Pursue high enough standards of professional ethics , In order to meet the expectations of society . He refined the essence of many previous works , Delve into 、 Refinement and sublimation , Launch this comprehensive Clean Series of mountain closures .

review Clean The theme of the series , You can see it very clearly from “ Focus on Technology ” To “ Pay attention to people ” The development context of .

It's like an old boxer writing a boxing manual , The first book is about moves . After a while , The old boxer found that the disciples were very familiar with their moves , But I didn't keep up with ,“ Do not practice boxing , To the old one empty ”, So I quickly wrote another book about internal skills . After a while , The old boxer found that the disciples didn't know how to judge the situation and choose the attack plan as soon as they went to the challenge arena , And quickly write a book about architecture . In ten years , The old boxer suddenly found , The boxing manual is passed around , Many people practice specious , The punch is crooked , Mental skills are not necessarily right . If you were this old boxer , In the face of such a situation , What will be the mood ？ I think , Probably like Uncle Bob , Both pessimistic and unwilling .

After agile software development became mainstream , At the same time, it has also become the best way for some people to make profits and mess “ Guise Son ”. When everyone is talking , When neither flattery nor criticism comes to the point , It has become a top priority to get to the bottom of the matter . therefore , Agile books published in the last two years , Coincidentally, they focus on one theme ： reform from the bottom . Agility is both a means , It's also the purpose . As Uncle Bob has repeatedly stressed in this book ： The most fundamental feature of software is “ soft ”. Good software not only has the flexibility to change and expand with the times , And it has the possibility of modification and expansion at a lower cost . If the software itself is agile , Then the way to implement and modify software must and must be agile .

This book Ⅰ Section and section Ⅱ This section combines several code examples , Shows how to use TDD Write agile software quickly , At the same time, the acceptance test 、 The importance of other agile means such as collaborative programming and general implementation means . inevitably , The author also spends quite a lot of time discussing the problem of software design scheme . I'd love to focus on this part . Besides , Some specific test strategies are also readable .

The first Ⅲ Some seem to be of little help to programmers in their daily work , But this part is worth reading and thinking about . The author puts forward ten commitments for programmers （ Or it means “ Oath ”） Easy to understand , But it's not easy to follow . Programmers who can keep these promises , It must be a good partner I am particularly willing to work with .

Programmer oath

To defend and maintain the honor of the computer programmer profession , I promise , To the best of my ability and judgment ：

1. I don't write harmful code .

2. The code I produce will always be my best work . I don't intentionally let code that has behavioral or structural defects accumulate .

3. I will provide a quick at each release 、 Definitive and repeatable evidence , Prove that every element of the code works .

4. I will often make small releases , Do not hinder the progress of others .

5. I will fearlessly 、 Mercilessly use every opportunity to improve my creation . I will never let it change .

6. I will try my best to improve the productivity of myself and others . I won't do anything to reduce productivity .

7. I will always make sure that others can fill my place , I can also fill seats for others .
