Foreword

Quality is the result of a million selfless acts of care — not just of any great method that descends from the heavens.

Introduction

There are two parts to learning craftsmanship: knowledge and work. Learning to write clean code is hard work. It requires more than just the knowledge of principles and patterns.
This book is divided into three parts. The first several chapters describe the principles, patterns, and practices of writing clean code. The second part consists of several case studies of ever-increasing complexity. The third part is a single chapter containing a list of heuristics and smells.
