Clean Code

I've been reading Uncle Bob's book "Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship" and so far really been enjoying it. For me it is somewhat validating, and I'm starting to realize why I have certain code habits. I'm only a couple of chapters into it, but I'm going into it with a couple of expectations.

1) I'm hoping to beef up my own skills. I'm by no means perfect, and I'm hoping this book will help me when I am writing code.

2) More importantly I'm hoping this will be a helpful reference for me when mentoring my team members so that we can all work together to elevate the quality of the code we produce.

We'll see how it goes, and what unexpected lessons I learn from this bokk.
