Code Complete, Second Edition

I was at the bookstore last night and I saw that Code Complete, Second
Edition has come out. I thumbed through it for about a half hour and I
highly recommend getting this book, even if you have the first edition.

Enjoy

 

Bobby,

I happened to see it today, too - anything specific you noticed that prompts
your recommendation? (I've got the first edition is why I ask...)

Best regards,
David Kozina

PS I just now read the reviews at the link you posted and it does sound like
a winnah! Just curious as to what caught your eye.

 

Hey David,
It looks like the author has worked hard to update the book to take modern
practices into account. There are new chapters dealing with classes, design
patterns, and even a chapter on refactoring. It looked like all of the code
examples had been updated to use modern languages. I saw some Java and even
some Visual Basic in the examples.

I could have sworn that while flipping through the pages I saw something on
pair programming. It makes me wonder if he discusses some of the newer
design philosophies like extreme programming.

Any those are the things that caught my eye. Hope that helps.
