  A collegue of mine reccomended that I read the book Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship, by Robert C. Martin.  I opened the book, and was immediately pleased with the introduction provided:

  There is a whole site dedicate to this concept: The Daily WTF.  While I admit that I've probably been the perpetrator on more than one occasion, there is really no excuse for developing bad code.  I spent the entire last year of development effort on a code base that would constantly make me say 'WTF!'.  There is nothing more frustrating than working with poorly written code.  

  Thousands of development books exist on the shelves today - all touching on topics such as best practices, methodolgy, frameworks, and development basics.  Which ones are worth reading?  I find myself wondering that almost every time I look.  I rarely meet a developer who makes me say "wow, I wish I knew how to develop like that".  When I do, it is a refreshing, mind-bending experience.  These rare developers seem to have found the books, attend the seminars, and develop the code bases that make us say 'WTF' even less.  Since I have recently met such a person, I thought I would share this title as a recommended reading.
