Download or read book The CTO s Guide to Code Quality written by Mark Harrison and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-07 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not a book about algorithms. This is not a book about architecture. This is not a book about frameworks. This is not even a book about project management, agile or otherwise.This is a book about "the other things" that are important to writing and maintaining a sustainable code base.It's also a book about automation of parts of the programming process.If you're a CTO, the economic case for "code quality plus automation" is already strong, and getting stronger with each new iteration of hardware.If you're a programmer (maybe aspiring to be a CTO), it's about being able to concentrate on the stimulating, interesting, and creative parts of the craft, and getting the tedious parts done for you.Much of the book is about the general craft of programming and helping programmers become more productive, and should be useful no matter what programming language(s) you've chosen.However, I find it works better to illustrate principles with examples. And this edition of the book picks examples from the PHP programming language.

Quiet, thoughtful princess Thanh was sent away as a hostage to the powerful faraway country of Ephteria as a child. Now she’s returned to her mother's imperial court, haunted not only by memories of her first romance, but by worrying magical echoes of a fire that devastated Ephteria’s royal palace. Thanh's new role as a diplomat places her once again in the path of her first love, the powerful and magnetic Eldris of Ephteria, who knows exactly what she wants: romance from Thanh and much more from Thanh’s home.
