A Philosophy of Software Design

Excellent book. I loved the way it is written, concise and easy to read.

I would recommend this book to anyone that takes software development seriously. I have read a few comments mentioning that it talks too much about comments, but I disagree with those and agree with the author, comments are very important and it is really hard to write clear, effective and useful comments.

I would say that a chapter on code reviews is missing, following the same line of thought that for comments, I think code reviews are not easy to do or obvious. Bad code reviews can make a project fail and I know some people will disagree but in my opinion, software design is way more than code.
