2. "Techniques of object-oriented design. Design Patterns ", Erich Gamma and other

Classic for programmers. The first book dedicated to the name of the template.

Leonid Vygovskyy, Systems Architect IT-companies LiveTex

- Publication for 20 years re-released in its original form. This, of course, a major drawback of the book: Some templates may already be outdated. I think it is useful to read after the other, more modern, books on design patterns. The more so because it is written in a dry academic language. To understand the patterns, this book is must read, but reading it adds coolness in the eyes of fellow programmers. :) I advise you start with the "design patterns» (Head First Design Patterns).

3. "Clean code. Creation, analysis and refactoring ", Robert C. Martin

Interesting, but controversial book is largely about how to write clear and maintainable code.

Leonid Vygovskyy, Systems Architect IT-companies LiveTex

- Why controversial? Books about writing code is already a huge amount, and some methods are generally accepted. But each author adds something of his own. Personally for me the opinion of Bob Martin seems sometimes strange and contrary to other sources. Not must read, but it's worth reading. code quality after reading becomes better.
