 HH - Book review: Code Complete
Code Complete treats the subject intelligently, and is not distracted by side-issues, such as choice of programming language, or the latest buzz-word topics related to the subject.
Code Complete is a thick book because it gives a thorough treatment of a single subject, rather than just a shallow overview.
Code Complete discusses alternative and conflicting viewpoints, set against both academic studies and the author's commercial experience.

 Book Review: Code Complete 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
Code Complete by Steve McConnell has been one of the most highly respected ‘must read’ titles for the last ten years.
Code Complete was an instant hit and many IT managers made sure their programmers read it cover to cover.
Where Code Complete2 excels is that it doesn’t just tell you what to do, it tells you why and then backs up the assertions with statistical data and results from studies.

 GameDev.net - Book Details - Code Complete, 2nd Ed.
Code Complete is a language-independent guide to developing solid software engineering skills.
Code Complete is an excellent title as every other sofware engineering book I read focused on high level design and almost completely ignored actual construction of code.
The result is code that is easier to read, easier to understand, easier to maintain and easier to debug.

 Code Complete 2
However, as time passed and coding practices and methodologies evolved with the languages they were projected upon, the book began to show its ideological age.
Besides the complete makeover, this new edition replaces the out-of-fashion C and Pascal code samples with a heavy dose of C++, moderate use of Java, and a sprinkling of Visual Basic.
Code Complete 2 is a book that will ensure the visibility of Steve McConnell’s name on any developer’s computing bookshelf.

Code Complete by Steve McConnell is the convergence (the crossroads) of experience, research, and theory.
It's interesting to note that Code Complete is a required read to become a practitioner (intermediate) level employee in McConnell's company (www.construx.com).
I prefer Code Complete over the Pragmatic Programmer; the topics discussed in the Pragmatic Programmer are a subset of Code Complete.

 Code Complete - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Code Complete (ISBN 1-55615-484-4) is a 1993 software development book by Steve McConnell urging developers to get past code and fix programming and the "big design up front" waterfall model.
McConnell defines coding and debugging as the main activities in construction, followed by
Although he does not dismiss the value of other aspects of software development such as requirements and documentation, McConnell emphasizes the construction of software because:

If the only audience for your code is yourself, then it might not occur to you to be concerned with exactly how to indent a nested loop or how to write good comments.
Code Complete is a distillation of thousands of pages of books, academic papers, and studies, a fact which McConnell makes quite explicit.
Many of the less favorable reviews criticize the fact that, since Code Complete was published in 1993, it does not discuss the issues of software construction in terms of the object oriented languages and n-tier architectures that are popular today.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Janes Frances de Chantal
If a gentle kindness, vivified and strengthened by a complete spirit of renunciation, predominates in St. Francis de Sales, it is firmness and great vigour which prevails in St. Jane Frances; she did not like to see her daughters giving way to human weakness.
The Saint's qualities are seen in her precise and vigorous style, void of imagery but betraying a repressed emotion, and bursting forth spontaneously from the heart, anticipating in its method the beautiful French of the seventeenth century.
The book which may be called her masterpiece, "Réponses sur les Régles, Constitutions et Coutumes", a truly practical and complete code of the religious life, is not in circulation.

 Domain-specific Modeling: Making Code Generation Complete
After coding some features, they usually start to find similarities in the code, patterns that seem to be repeatable.
This means that the code is complete, executable and of production quality from the modeler's perspective; in other words, after generation, the code needs no manual rewriting or additions.
Editing generated code is (or should be) analogous to manually editing machine code after C compilation—typically unnecessary.

Code Complete, Second Edition will finally displace Code Complete from the shelves and will become a standard until, I suspect, McConnell writes a third edition sometime in the next decade....
Code Complete comprises 95% of the accumulated wisdom of software construction-written from the practicing programmer's point of view.

 The Joel on Software Discussion Group - Code Complete
Yes, most of Code Complete is evident to an experienced programmer.
Given the inconsistant training that exists in the industry, that smaller portion may be different for every programmer: one may not have heard of code reviews, the other may not have heard of pseudocode method design.
I feel that "Code Complete" is one of the most overrated books on programming in the last decade.

 Code Complete
My take is that the sections on writing code is too elementary, it is like reading a book about writing novels and it reminds you to use commas, fullstops and paragraphs.
I was just commenting on the coding sections, and really, I am quite disappointed after seeing the great book comments and then reading the book.
The edition embraces OO, which is nice, and references Agile and XP with a balanced view, although he seems to be at pains to show where he already showed the way to XP in CC1.

Also don't be intimitated by the size of the book: the style is easy to follow, with plenty of examples, typographic highlights to stress various points, good use of images and diagrams, and lots of recaps, checklists and cross indexing among the various sections.
Although it gives plenty of source code examples in several different programming languages, these are always short and easy to follow even for 'language foreigners'.
Source code examples are only used to illustrate more general, important points, rather than specific implementation details.

Covering every aspect of code construction, this is a mammoth volume packed to the hilt with sage advice, sample code, hard facts and figures, and sound arguments.
Secondly, it's important to remember that code is read more often than it's written, which means making sure it's readable.
There's sample code aplenty, with Java, C++ and Visual Basic, but the lessons the book really draws are independent of language, tools or methodologies.
