具体描述

Anyone who develops software for a living needs a proven way to produce it better, faster, and cheaper. The Productive Programmer offers critical timesaving and productivity tools that you can adopt right away, no matter what platform you use. Master developer Neal Ford not only offers advice on the mechanics of productivity-how to work smarter, spurn interruptions, get the most out your computer, and avoid repetition-he also details valuable practices that will help you elude common traps, improve your code, and become more valuable to your team. You'll learn to:

* Write the test before you write the code

* Manage the lifecycle of your objects fastidiously

* Build only what you need now, not what you might need later

* Apply ancient philosophies to software development

* Question authority, rather than blindly adhere to standards

* Make hard things easier and impossible things possible through meta-programming

* Be sure all code within a method is at the same level of abstraction

* Pick the right editor and assemble the best tools for the job

This isn't theory, but the fruits of Ford's real-world experience as an Application Architect at the global IT consultancy ThoughtWorks. Whether you're a beginner or a pro with years of experience, you'll improve your work and your career with the simple and straightforward principles in The Productive Programmer.

回想一下： * 怎样启动一个程序？ * 怎样切换到一个文件上去？ 曾经的我这样做： * 点开“开始”菜单，在“程序”中，一项项寻找过去…… * 在IDE中，找到目录的根，然后一层层目录展开…… 现在的我这么做的： * 用快捷键调出一个启动程序，比如Launchy，敲入我要启动程序的...  

用户评价

每个不甘于仅仅把编程作为谋生手段的程序员都应该认真读这本书

知行合一的第一步：就是搞了一个Git

主要谈思想，技术不是很多

适合年轻人的读物

第一部分的作用感觉比第二部分的作用大。
