Take it with a grain of salt.

I’m a big fan of all the advice given in the book, but personally, reading long blocks of code is pretty uncomfortable. Especially true in hardcopy, so some of the code refactorings were a little tricky to follow through. The small snippets were great, but I couldn’t get myself to read the full modules

Ottima raccolta di consgli e best practice per la programmazione con qualsiasi linguaggio, anche se tutti gli esempi sono in Java. Le prime 200 pagine dicono già tutto, mentre le successive sono esempi di refactoring seguendo le regole esposte e ripetizione delle stesse con parole diverse. Le appendici (lunghissime) approfondiscono la programmazione multithread e presentano un esempio di libreria rifattorizzata. Alcune delle pratiche consigliate possono risultare opinabili con linguaggi diversi da Java, ma sono molto poche.

Agree with a previous reviewer that the second half is more "Clean Java" than "Clean Code". Not bad though.

Pretty Java-centric. Some chapters seemed to address Java-specific problems and use Java-specific tools/workarounds, but most other chapters were applicable to software development / coding in general. Some of the information did seem like common sense, but they were good reminders. A lot of the concepts were repeated across the chapters, which I didn't mind because it made it seem like everything falls under a central theme rather than being separate rules we have to check off individually.
