《编码整洁之道：专业程序员的行为准则(英文版)》由Robert C.Martin著，这是一本关于软件专业主义的书，给出了许多务实的建议，并试图回答如下这些问题：

·究竟什么样的人才是软件专家？

·一名专家究竟应该如何处事？

·专家应该如何处理并应对冲突、紧张的日程以及蛮不讲理的经理？

·专家应该在什么时候，用什么样的方式说“不”？

·专家会如何面对压力？

《编码整洁之道：专业程序员的行为准则(英文版)》内容介绍：

忍受各种不确定性及不间断的压力并能够获取成功的程序员有一个共通特征：他们都深度关注软件创建实践。他们都把软件看做一种工艺品。他们都是专家。在“鲍勃大叔”看来“专业”的程序员不仅应该具备专业的技能，更应该具备专业的态度，这也是本书阐述的核心。专业的态度包括如何带着荣誉感、自尊、自豪来进行软件开发，如何做好并做得整洁，如何诚实地进行沟通和估算，如何透明并坦诚地面对困难做抉择，如何理解与专业知识相伴的责任。

想成为名副其实的软件专家？Robert C.Martin著的《编码整洁之道：专业程序员的行为准则(英文版)》，或许可以为你指点迷津。
