Content preview from Becoming a Better Programmer

Part II. Practice Makes Perfect

Now we step back from the codeface, and take a broader view. We’ll inspect the important practices that comprise better programming.

These chapters cover important techniques, practices, and approaches to writing good code. I’ll introduce rules of engagement with the software development process, ways of approaching the coding task, and sound techniques that will help you collaborate with other development team members.
