At the end of last year, I realized that I somehow stopped reading technical books. There was just too much going on to read that kind of content in my leisure time. Why learn a new thing when you also could escape to Teixcalaanli? But I started to crave some technical content and I looked at my pile of unread technical books.

Luckily, one of the books I chose was this one. Naming things is hard. And on top of that, a wrong name leads to all kind of problems. This book explains the basic rules how you should name things in your code. Plain and simple. Luckily, the author also didn’t make the explanations longer than needed. These kinds of books are the best. Short enough to read in one sitting, long enough to cover everything you need to know.

If you are a software developer, you really should get this book and put it next to your desk after you finished reading it. You will start referencing it when talking to your colleagues about code.

5/5 stars from me.
