Code Simplicity: The Fundamentals Of Software (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

I wish every programmer read this book.It's a very short (~70 pages) book on the mindset needed for simple and maintainable code. The author sets to coin a few universal laws and rules for software development. He does great in my opinion. It's full of very good advice. It might be "common sense" for some, but it's also the kind of common sense that people agree on, but then never do. I can easily say that everything in that book is (1) very true and (2) very relevant.I can wholeheartedly recommend it. Even if you're familiar with the ideas, the brevity and clarify of expression are very refreshing and make the book a pleasant read. The books deals with Software development mostly with the design of the software. Though the "science" part of it isn't really science, because it all boils down to the individual and how they interpret the so called laws. If you are beginner in software design, then this would be a good read as it doesnt deal with the topics in depth and hence its redundant information for an experienced developer. Another motivation for someone to read would be its small size, you can read it end-to-end in one sitting.
