In Clean Craftmanship, the legendary Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob) has written every programmer's definitive guide to working well. Martin brings together the disciplines, standards, and ethics you need to deliver robust, effective code and to be proud of all the software you write.

Martin, the best-selling author of The Clean Coder, first provides a pragmatic, technical, and prescriptive guide to the foundational disciplines of software craftsmanship. Then, he moves on to standards, showing how the world's expectations of developers often differ from their own and helping you bring the two in sync. Finally, he turns to the ethics of the programming profession, describing the fundamental promises all developers should make to their colleagues, their users, and, above all, themselves.

With Martin's insights, all programmers and their managers can consistently deliver code that builds trust instead of undermining it--trust among users and throughout societies that depend on software for their survival.
