Review: Short but Packed of Valuable Information - I work in IT but am just a hobbiest when it comes to programming (I do game development for fun), so this book isn't being used towards work as such but even so this book was incredibly useful for keeping me from getting into bad habits with my own Projects along with teaching you useful life lessons in general. So I read this front page to back and took notes on the things I thought were very useful to know. It's quite a short hardback book but packed with lots of value, now that I have notes taken from it I will glady read them over and over during and before I start a new project. Could you find a lot of this information from multiple blog post, yes definitely but this is a "classic" programmer book where they most likely got this timeless information from.
Review: Very useful - Very useful and informative, covers various aspects, from requirement gathering, estimations, coding best practices, tests, refactoring and delivery.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very useful
*by G***R on 23 August 2025*

Very useful and informative, covers various aspects, from requirement gathering, estimations, coding best practices, tests, refactoring and delivery.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The only book you need
*by G***E on 5 December 2021*

If in IT, especially in programming, this is really a must read and if anything a only read. The reason I say this is that it shows you that being adaptable and applying good principles is best for yourself, team and the deliverable. With the lessons taken from the book I was able to research into other areas which have given me valuable skills. Good luck !
