Rating:  - Good resource for teaching
What is better? Replacing delegations with inheritance or replacing inheritance with delegation?
The answer is the ultimate answer to most software engineering decisions: DEPENDS, there is always a trade-off that has to be analyzed according to the context! This book addresses those trade-offs very well.
Moreover, I like the examples in the book, good to use in class when teaching. They generate interesting discussions.
Rating:  - Must have in any developers collection
I was referred to this book from a colleague after a quick discussion on "Replace temp with Query" in our projects code base.
I thought I knew it all as a software developer, but reading this book, I soon came to realize that as a software developer I was leaving a legacy of code that was not at the standard it should be.
This book opened my eyes to some really simple concepts, for example, when trying to understand code someone else has written (or yourself in some cases) ... Read More
Rating: - Refactoring
Refactoring is the process of changing a software system in such a way that it does not alter the external behavior of the code yet improves its internal structure.

Rating: - An Easy Read - Lots of Great Info - Must for New Programmers
This book is just a real easy read, with lots of good information. You can pretty much flip to any page in the book, read, and learn something. You don't have to read chapter by chapter - it's just real easy to jump into.
Lots of tips seem self-evident, but I doubt they would be to rookie programmers. It's definitely a book new programmers should get their hands on early.
Rating: - A must read for any serious developer.
This book is required reading for anyone who is serious about software development. If you want to go from good to great then do yourself a favor and get this book.
