During my programming study and first job, most of the time when I heard about the "Clean Code" book was during code review, as the "dogma", a set of rules I have to follow. This is what this book has become famous for, simple rules by following which you might feel and have seen as a professional. Despite that, the book is not about rules and insists that it is not a dogma. What I see in this book is the intention of authors to work with a reader to develop in him a desire to write the best code that he can write. To achieve that throughout the book there are many fairly offensive words used to describe some style of code that in fact might be written by anyone. In contrast to technical books, where the style guide is dry, Clean Code makes you feel bad and guilty about the code that you have been writing in past....more

This book has nothing to do with Android, but it is not needed, it is only about pure Kotlin.

Horstmann - is the most advised book by mentors for all android and java developers, and at the same time is the driest literature I have ever read. I believe that the space shuttle flight manual would be easier to read. In addition, I cannot understand what so special about this book as half of the information in it is outdated and useless....more

Even though I read the edition of 2015, and it had quite a lot of outdated approaches, more important is the way of authors deliver the material, it makes it easy to migrate all received knowledge from the book to real practice with minor corrections. This book covers only fairly the basics of the starting point of the path to advanced android development, but the knowledge it gives makes it a nice and solid foundation for further education....more

T"Head First Java" is a stunning example of a textbook in which the method of conveying complex information is presented in the simplest possible way. The best part is a beginning which includes amazing pieces of advice about the technics of studying IT literature. "Must read" for all Java programmers. The only flaw I can see here is that the subject is changing constantly and even this wonderful book is a bit outdated. If someone knows the updated version of this kind of book I would be grateful if you tell me its name....more
