Useful book!

It is a very interesting book if you are developer or manager. It gives a good overview of the whole coding process and most important of it: it is not boring! You can read all chapters in a row, like I did, or pick up the ones that might interest you at a particular time. A good reference and acquisition, defenitely.

Awesome!

This book is so helpful and insightful! I am a newbie to the industry and this really helped me understand the process. If you're new in a job, looking to brush up skills or even if you think you know it all - read this book and learn some more.

Essential for coding projects big or small

I spent several years building products and services for Microsoft and now manage product development at another company. The authors do a FANTASTIC job distilling the best practices of one of the top engineering companies on the planet. Well-written and very applicable to the development of any commercial-strength software product or service, big or small. I've bought several copies for my organization and made it mandatory reading.

A MUST read for any software developer

Anyone serious about writing performant, secure, and scalable code should read this book. Very well written and organized with appropriate emphasis on processes, planning, and prep to prevent letting "implementation drive design." As an industry veteran I've seen this happen way too many times. Kudos to the authors for stressing these important factors of great software design. Highly recommended.
