Product Description:
For more than a decade, Steve McConnell, one of the premier authors and voices in the software community, has helped change the way developers write code--and produce better software. Now his classic book, CODE COMPLETE, has been fully updated and revised with best practices in the art and science of constructing software. Whether you're a new developer seeking a sound introduction to the practice of software development or a veteran exploring strategic new approaches to problem solving, you'll find a wealth of practical suggestions and methods for strengthening your skills. Topics include design, applying good techniques to construction, eliminating errors, planning, managing construction activities, and relating personal character to superior software. This new edition features fully updated information on programming techniques, including the emergence of Web-style programming, and integrated coverage of object-oriented design. You'll also find new code examples--both good and bad--in C++, Microsoft(r) Visual Basic(r), C#, and Java, though the focus is squarely on techniques and practices.

the product was good,the delivery was on time.
The book was in good condition
Rating: 
- good book
I bought this because it was highly recommended as a must have for the software engineer. I browsed through it and I'm not sorry I bought it. It has some good stuff.
Rating: - Best of the Best
Besides agreeing with the other reviews all I can say is that this text has made me a better programmer.Truly.
Rating: - An Important Read
Though this book is filled with debatable opinion and redundant information, it's an important read.Read it if only to keep software engineering topics fresh in your head.Otherwise, if you are already experienced, it's kind of elementary.
Rating: - Invaluable, Well Presented Information
There is probably not a whole lot to say about this book that has not been said already, but it certainly deserves another positive review nonetheless.
I bought this book thinking that I did not have a whole lot to learn from it.I was certain I had read enough 'better coding' material in the past to know what good code was and how to produce it.I am sure you will not be surprised when I say that I ended up having a great deal to learn from this book.
