2004年美国Jolt大奖入围作品。 如果你是个程序员的话，那么你就需要本书。可能导致我们阅读代码的原因是：我们不得不去修复它其中所包含的错误；或是对它进行遍查（inspect）；或者是改善它。我们阅读代码的方式可能和工程师检查机械的方式一样——找出它的工作原理。或者我们阅读代码的目的是对代码进行清理——找出其中可以被重用的部分。阅读代码有着它自身的技巧，并需要我们能够在重要场合对采用何种技术有着判断能力。在这本不可或缺的书中，Diomidis Spinellis使用了超过600个来自现实世界中的例子来向我们展示如何鉴别好的（或坏的）代码：如何去阅读它，从中去找寻什么，以及如何利用这种技巧来提升我们自身编写的代码的品质。记住这个事实：如果我们养成了阅读好代码的习惯，我们就能写出更高品质的代码。
