Summary
Even bad code can function. But if code isn’t clean, it can bring a development organization to its knees. Every year, countless hours and significant resources are lost because of poorly written code. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Noted software expert Robert C. Martin presents a revolutionary paradigm with Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship. Martin has teamed up with his colleagues from Object Mentor to distill their best agile practice of cleaning code “on the fly” into a book that will instill within you the values of a software craftsman and make you a better programmer - but only if you work at it.
Clean Code is divided into three parts.
- The first 13 chapters, fully contained in the audio, describes the principles, patterns, and practices of writing clean code.
- The second part, chapters 14 to 16, consists of several case studies of increasing complexity and is included in a pdf that comes with your purchase. Each case study is an exercise in cleaning up code - of transforming a code base that has some problems into one that is sound and efficient. You’ll be reading code - lots of code. And you will be challenged to think about what’s right about that code, and what’s wrong with it.
- The third part, chapter 17, is provided both in the audio and the pdf. It is the payoff: a single chapter containing a list of heuristics and “smells” gathered while creating the case studies. The result is a knowledge base that describes the way we think when we write, read, and clean code.
Listeners will come away from Clean Code understanding:
- How to tell the difference between good and bad code
- How to write good code and how to transform bad code into good code
- How to create good names, good functions, good objects, and good classes
- How to format code for maximum readability
- How to implement complete error handling without obscuring code logic
- How to unit test and practice test-driven development
This book is a must for any developer, software engineer, project manager, team lead, or systems analyst with an interest in producing better code.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A great list coding fundamentals
This book contains a fantastic list of coding fundamentals which will make me a better programmer and I cant wait to start using some of them.
it does get a bit Java specific in places so I knocked a star off but overall this is still an essential bit of reading for any Programmer.

I never thought of a technical audiobook and wow!
This book is a timeless classic. No matter when you read it, it is always valid and you get great advice and code companion from it.
I never thought that a technical book in audio format could be of great value. But I was wrong
This one well deserves, at least, one global listening. And then you may jump to specific chapters.
Wisely written and lovely narrated.
It is a must regardless of the format.

Excellent for programming enthusiasts.
Difficult at times to visualise the code but very good nonetheless. Enjoyable pace and rhythm.

Learnt a lot and implemented it almost instantly into my work. Would recommended for new and intermediate developers.

Very interesting and helpful!
I enjoyed listening to this audiobook and reading the attached large PDF. I admire how professionally this fusion of an audiobook and a book is made. Everything what can be listened to is nicely adjusted for listening experience. And there is an over 200-page PDF attached with everything what would be impossible to understand as an audiobook! Apparently, to publishing this audiobook they applied same principles as to writing clean code. Every effort was made to make it understandable and convenient to listen. Even such little tastes like changing the function names in short code examples to make them easier to listen to, e.g. in the attached PDF code says getOos(), but audiobook says getTimer(), what doesn't change the sense of example in any way, but it's easier to hear :)

Good for juniors, not so much for seasoned develop
It's a good book if you are new to development or have been stuck under a rock for many years. To me, a senior developer, it was just a reminder of good practices that I'm already following.
