Good Habits for Great Coding is a comprehensive guide for improving coding skills and writing readable code. Rather than focusing on basic programming concepts, the book assumes that readers have a solid understanding of the fundamentals and offers time-honed best practices for style, design, documenting, testing, refactoring, and more. Author Michael Stueben takes an informal, conversational tone, offering programming stories, anecdotes, observations, advice, tricks, examples, and challenges based on his 38 years of experience writing code and teaching programming classes.
The book aims to teach style to beginners in a way that is not pedantic but rather practical and engaging. It distills Stueben's three decades of analyzing his own mistakes, analyzing student mistakes, searching for problems that teach lessons, and searching for simple examples to illustrate complex ideas. Each chapter includes quizzes and problems to help readers apply the concepts discussed.
The final chapter introduces dynamic programming, a powerful technique for reducing complex problems to subcases. It illustrates many concepts discussed in the book and provides code samples in Python, designed to be understandable by readers familiar with any modern programming language.
By the end of this book, readers will have acquired a lifetime of good coding advice, the lessons the author wishes he had learned when he was a novice. Whether you are a student or a novice programmer, Good Habits for Great Coding will help you improve your coding skills and write code that is not only efficient but also easy to read and maintain.
