Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

My only issue, ironically, is the amount of spelling errors throughtout the book and some code. This book codifies what it means to write good code and takes the guessing out.



Cons

This would be a cumbersome and very messy coding style. While this does indeed make the code look simpler, it's much harder to understand the intent of the programmer since the details are hidden from the function caller.

Cover is blurry, code samples seem like a poor copy job. Blurred text, photocopied. Feels like a bunch of printer paper slammed together.

To me this seems arrogant. After that it's pretty much downhill. The code is pathetic. And the code suffers for it.

Martin gets preachy with experimental and untested philosophies. Stopping everything, every 5 minutes to push scrum agendas do nothing but make the agile guys wealthy. He has good intentions but his advice is impractical.

As many others have mentioned it appears to be a bootleg copy. The new copy is an obvious forgery. Complete ripoff.
