Find Best Price at Amazon"readable encyclopedia of best practices on software quality, covering topics such as how to build classes, use data and control structures, debug, refactor, and code-tune. Yes, it would be nice if the book was updated to include substantive material on languages like Ruby or Python (cf. p. 65, Python "also contains some support for creating larger programs") but, in the words of Gertrude Stein, "Not everything can be about everything" -- though Code Complete does come pretty close. McConnell also sprinkles the text with classic words of wisdom, e.g. "The competent programmer is fully aware of the strictly limited size of his own skull" (Edsger Dijkstra), "Never debug standing up" (Gerald Weinberg), "Copy and paste is a design error" (David Parnas), "Any fool can defend his or her mistakes -- and most fools do." It is important to point out that even though this volume is encyclopedia-like, it does have both a sense of humor (e.g. "the encryption algorithm is so convoluted that it seems like it's been used on itself") and a clear authorial voice (e.g. "Though sometimes tempting, that's dumb."). 33, after quoting Edward Yourdon at length, McConnell adds "This lusty tribute to programming machismo is pure B.S.

"Bad humor, takes a long time to convey information, but is useful."
"I'd also recommend the more recent Clean Code, especially for Java programmers, as it goes into more depth, even providing actual case studies in which code is dramatically cleaned up."

"As long as one has the resources to set up VMs running RedHat, or CentOS, the exercises in this guide should give one the experience needed to successfully complete the exam in the alloted time."
"This is a good book for learning the exam objectives quickly."
"I've bought this and previous addition."
"This book isn't the greatest in my opinion."
"This book attempts to explain Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 in plain english. This book is packed with a large amount of extra, OJT (on the job training) tips that a Linux admin."
"Will update after I earn the certifications."
"(The sections on VMs was tough to follow, not because it's overly complex but the material lacks a good description.)."

For someone in IT or management, this is a wonderfully balanced survey of e-commerce business structure and transaction process."
"I am satisfied with quality of service."
"PRO: good intro to ecommerce. CON: fails to go in depth if you know anything about computers. Had to buy for a class."
"As with all basic or intro textbooks, this author, Gary Schneider, touches on the main aspects of his subject matter. I know the author has written many editions, and I know this is probably tiring, but he really should take a vacation, clear his head, and come back and begin anew."
"Honestly, the book is old."
"Really enjoying this textbook ... very informative, but deep."
"I didn't really have any problems with the book, but if your teacher isn't assigning work straight out of the book I think you could likely get away with not having it."
