To Bryony, my wonderful wife.
To Alice, who drew balloons on this book.
To Millie, who tasted this book.
And to Jessica, who never got a chance to.
Psalm 150
"The mastery of a craft takes more than just tricks and tools; it also takes attitude and skill. For programmers that care, this is what they will get from Code Craft . With the able assistance of a large number of monkeys, this book invites readers to reflect and reason about what they are doing."
"Readable, engaging, and even funny... this book is the distilled wisdom gained from years of actually working, suffering and triumphing in the world of software development... It's the book I wish I'd had when I started work as a programmer."
" Code Craft is a goldmine of information that every professional software developer should be aware of."
"Good judgment comes from experience. And experiencewell, you get that from exercising bad judgment! Here is a chance to learn from someone else's hard-earned experience, more gain for less pain."
"This is exactly the kind of book you should give raw recruits. It tells it like it is, it's easy to read, and it covers the broad range of topics a newbie programmer needs to be aware of."
"A unique and practical guide to being a professional programmer in the modern workplace."
"Pete has a rare ability. Not only can he identify techniques that the best professional software developers employ (often without realising it), but he can also describe these in a clear and concise manner."
"I really wish that this book had been available at the start of my career, when I was being mentored. At least now I can use it with the programmers I'm mentoring."
"Those of you who have been fortunate enough to have seen Pete Goodliffe lecturing on a subject will immediately recognise the way he can bring a subject over with humour and clarity. In a teaching environment, this translates into directed, structured instruction that allows both the newbie and the experienced practitioner to learn and progress."
"Pete has a desire that code is not just written, but written well, with programmers using the right tools and techniques for the job. Code Craft explores a wide range of aspects of programming, and provides guidelines and principles that any developer who cares about their work should be familiar with."
"Pete Goodliffe's dedication to promote professionalism in software development is well known within the industry. Drawing on his authoritative knowledge, and blessed with an entertaining and informative writing style, Pete is an excellent mentor to novice and experienced developers alike."
"I like the monkeys best of all."

There are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant.
This book comes from the trenches. Well, it actually comes from deep within the software factory, but sometimes there isn't too much difference. This book is for programmers who care about what they're doing. If you don't, then shut the book now and put it neatly back on the bookshelf.
Programming is your passion. It's sad, but it's true. As a hardcore techie, you practically program in your sleep. Now you're in the heart of the Real World, deep in the industry, doing what you could never imagine: being paid to play with computers. The truth is, you'd have paid someone for the privilege.
But this is an odd place, not what you were expecting at all. Surprised by the incursion of unrealistic deadlines and bad management (if management is what they call it), of shifting requirements and a legacy of awful code, you're left wondering if this is really it . The world is conspiring to prevent you from writing the code you always dreamed of. Welcome to life in the software factory. You're on the front line of a tough battle to create pieces of artistic mastery and scientific genius. Good luck.
That's where Code Craft comes in. This book is about what no one has taught you yet: how to program, properly,
