Widely considered one of the best practical guides to programming, Steve McConnell's original CODE COMPLETE has been helping developers write better software for more than a decade. Now this classic book has been fully updated and revised with leading-edge practices -- and hundreds of new code samples -- illustrating the art and science of software construction. Capturing the body of knowledge available from research, academia, and everyday commercial practice, McConnell synthesizes the most effective techniques and must-know principles into clear, pragmatic guidance. No matter what your experience level, development environment, or project size, this book will inform and stimulate your thinking -- and help you build the highest quality code.
Discover the timeless techniques and strategies that help you:

• Exploit opportunities to refactor -- or evolve -- code, and do it safely

• Use construction practices that are right-weight for your project

• Debug problems quickly and effectively

• Resolve critical construction issues early and correctly

• Build quality into the beginning, middle, and end of your project
