Code Simplicity: The Science of Software Development: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Code Simplicity: The Science of Software Development" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Every complexity of software design, simplified and codified at last, for use by every programmer, from the novice to the architects of major applications. This book contains the fundamental laws of software development, the primary pieces of understanding that make the difference between a mid-level/junior programmer and the high-level senior software engineer. The book exists to help all programmers understand the process of writing software, on a very fundamental level that can be applied to any programming language or project, from here into eternity. Code Simplicity is also written in such a way that even non-technical managers of software teams can gain an understanding of what the right way and the wrong way is (and why they are right and wrong) when it comes to software design. The focus of the book is primarily on software design, the process of creating a plan for a software project and making technical decisions about the pattern and structure of a system.

The difference between a bad programmer and a good programmer is understanding . That is, bad programmers dont understand what they are doing, and good programmers do. Believe it or not, it really is that simple.
This book exists to help all programmers understand software development on a very broad level that can be applied to any programming language or project from here to eternity. It lays out scientific laws for software development, in a simple form that anybody can read.
If you are a programmer, these laws will help explain why certain software development methods work and why some dont. They will help guide you in making software development decisions on a day-to-day basis, and they will help your team have intelligent conversations that lead to sensible plans.
If you arent a programmer but you work in the software industry, you may find this book useful for several reasons:
It is an excellent educational tool to use in the training of junior programmers, while still containing information that is highly relevant to senior programmers.
It will allow you to more effectively understand why software engineers want to do certain things, or why software should be developed in a certain way.
It can help you communicate your ideas effectively to software engineers, by helping you understand the fundamental principles on which good software engineers base their decisions.
Ideally, everybody who works in the software industry should be able to read and understand this book, even if they dont have a lot of programming experience, or even if English is not their native language. Having more technical understanding will help in grasping some of the concepts, but most require no programming experience whatsoever to understand.
In fact, even though this book is about software development, it contains almost no program code. How can that be? Well, the idea is that these principles should apply to any software project, in any programming language. You shouldnt have to know some specific programming language just to understand things that apply to all programming, everywhere. Instead, real-world examples and analogies are used throughout the book to help you get a better understanding of each principle, as it is presented.
Most of all, this book was written to help you, and to help bring sanity, order, and simplicity into the field of software development. I hope that you enjoy reading it and that it improves your life and your software in some way.

My editors, Andy Oram and Jolie Kanat, have been an invaluable resource. Andys feedback was both insightful and brilliant. Jolies insistence and support were ultimately what got this book published, and her extensive editing work on the early drafts was highly appreciated.
My copyeditor, Rachel Head, has a remarkable talent for clarifying and improving everything.
All the programmers that Ive worked with and talked with in the open source community also deserve thanksparticularly my fellow developers on the Bugzilla Project who helped me try out all the ideas in this book on a real, live software system over the course of many years.
