Clean code book review

Some say that this book is a cornerstone for every developer. Unfortunately, I’ve approached it just recently, so it won’t affect me much.  As for me, this book is just a lousy interpretation of other books i’ve read plus an excerpt from the author’s experience that every mature developer will find obvious.

I would recommend this book to any junior developer in case he/she hasn’t read any other codestyle-concerned book like Josh Bloch’s “Effective Java”.

My score 3/5

In case you’re willing to learn something new…

Next month is going to be HOT!

Principles of Reactive Programming

After 2 year pause the most disruptive course i’ve ever attended is offered again. Unfortunately i didn’t finish it last time, which is pretty challenging for me. The course is taught in Scala but most of the concepts are not Scala-specific. If you enjoy functional programming this course will take you to a next level. Recommended by the LambdaDays  attendees.

Introduction to Big Data with Apache Spark {.course-detail-title}

I was told about this course on Spark Summit in San Francisco last summer. Spark was invented in Berkeley, therefore i would believe that these guy truly knows what’s Big Data. If you’re curious enough and willing to hone your Python skills i would recommend you to enroll to this course.
