I’m a junior developer, and I’m looking for a book that teaches code design concepts. Clean Code is the most recommended book I saw, but it is also extremely controversial.

Any alternatives to read? I’m not a complete beginner as I have a Bachelor’s degree in CS, but I’m fairly new to the concept of writing “clean code”.

    Very well said. I started reading the Clean Code, and the author makes it clear in the introduction that while he stands behind his school of thought, he agrees that it isn’t the only good one.

    Also what I’m excited about in the book are the study cases, which are basically practical examples to solidify the principles.

    Thanks for the detailed answer, much appreciated.
