Purchase options and add-ons

Bestselling author Robert C. Martin brings new life and updated code to his beloved Clean Code book

With Clean Code, Second Edition, Robert C. Martin ("Uncle Bob") reinvigorates the classic guide to software craftsmanship with updated insights, broader scope, and enriched content. This new edition--a comprehensive rewrite of the original bestseller--is poised to transform the way developers approach coding, fostering a deeper commitment to the craft of writing clean, flexible, and maintainable code.

The book is divided into four parts: basic coding practices, design principles and heuristics, high-level architecture, and the ethics of craftsmanship. It challenges readers to critically evaluate code quality and reassess their professional values, ultimately guiding them to produce better software. This edition includes expanded coverage of testing disciplines, design and architecture principles, and multiple programming languages.

  • Design and architecture principles integrated with coding practices
  • Coverage of more languages, including Java, JavaScript, Go, Python, Clojure, C#, and C
  • Case studies for practical exercises in code transformation
  • Techniques for writing good names, functions, objects, and classes
  • Strategies for formatting code for maximum readability
  • Comprehensive error handling and testing practices
  • Productive use of AI tools for coding
  • Soft skills and the ethics of programming
  • SOLID principles of software design
  • Management of dependencies for flexible and reusable code
  • Professional practices and trade-offs in object-oriented design

Clean Code, Second Edition, underscores the importance of evolving software craftsmanship to meet contemporary challenges. Offering a deeper exploration of testing, design, and architecture, alongside universal coding principles applicable across various programming languages, this edition is set to be an indispensable resource for developers, engineers, and project managers. It not only aims to enhance technical skills but also to cultivate a professional ethos that values clean, flexible, and sustainable code.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for the First Edition of Clean Code

"Clean Code has changed the way I develop and maintain software in so many ways. It defines so well how code should be written, and I have not only learnt much from this book but have also put into practice many of its gems. I can honestly say that having gone on this journey, it is once again a pleasure to develop software and look at code that you are proud to have written."
--Steve Roberts, head of IT

"Reading Clean Code validated my inner sense of how software should be written, while also improving the quality of my work by teaching me things I didn't know. I'm grateful for this book and others by the same author as they remain fundamental prerequisites, even in the age of AI."
--Milos Baic, developer and solution architect

"[Clean Code] was the single most influential thing that I encountered in my career. Provided I was in a team that adhered to it, it took a lot of stress away as the code was suddenly more understandable and thus easier to maintain. To design something with testability in mind eliminated a lot of complexity in design and maintenance. Above all, it made programming feel cozy and fun again. The feeling gets stronger when you move from poor to a cleaner code base."
--Žarko Stojanović, staff software engineer
