The Pragmatic Programmer: your journey to mastery, 20th Anniversary Edition Hardcover – Illustrated, 25 November 2019

I am an experienced developer associated with code for last 20 years. Reading a book like this is a deja-vu in many sense. It is tantalising experience as the pages turn in this book. The most I liked about this book is the simplicity and usage of language. It communicates in easy to follow yet coveys what matters most to me in my professional life. Also the way the each topic is capsuled makes the reading experience smooth. There is lot to reflect by reading this book. It does not matter what is your experience, this book will lay foundational aspects of engineering within you.

About the content of the book - there is no doubt why this book is the best seller for 20+ years in software engineering. The 20th-anniversary edition is even better as it has updated details relevant to today's software engineering practices and standards.About the material of the book - The book arrived in time. I got it for ~1500 INR. I was doubtful if I would get a good quality book as the hardcover sales for around 3500+ INR. But to my surprise, the hardcover piece I got is really good. The pages are bound properly, thick, printing is quite nice. Overall a good buy for me considering the price I got.

If you're early in your software career, this book is going to accelerate your progress as a software developer.In hindsight, you're gonna feel you already knew some of these things but seeing it lay out perfectly in a book with chapters and stuff, it is a very good read every now and then. Great job by the authors to keep the book relevant in this latest edition, post changes to examples and chapter content.

Recieved the original product and the book was genuine in terms of printing and hardcover quality. I was little skeptical about quality before ordering, as the price was much cheaper than US/Canada. Wow.. it was genuine hardcover edition.Ordered hardcover because it is half the price of kindle edition.

Yeah, it will make you 20x developer from what are you now. The methods, principles and techniques will definitely make you a pragmatic programmer
