Summary: An essential volume for your bookshelf
Review: The original Code Complete has long been regarded by many serious software developers as a "must have" compilation of software construction best practices. CC2 has similar breadth and depth and has been thoroughly updated to include discussion of emerging methodologies as extreme programming and best practices such as refactoring.Steve McConnell provides a balanced, thoughtful discussion of competing opinions along with a wealth of references to additional materials covering specific topics in more detail. At the same time, McConnell has a clear voice articulating his judgment on various controversial topics. Overall, CC2 is an essential book to include in your library whether you're just starting out in your career or an old grey hair responsible for mentoring teams. In both cases, CC2 puts a mountain of software construction best practices at your fingertips.

Summary: I buy a copy for every programmer that works for me.
Review: This is the best book I have ever read on the theory and practice of programming. Now that I have moved from being a programmer to managing programmers I make it a point to buy a copy of this book for every programmer that works for me. I have seen pretty sloppy programmers make a 180 degree turn on the quality of the work I get from them.
