Henrik Røn reviewed The Pragmatic Programmer, 20th Anniversary Edition by Andy Hunt

Still a must read, especially if you are relatively new to software development

5 stars

Read the first edition a couple of years after it was published, I had been working professionally as a software developer for about 4 years, but still and learned a ton from the book.

The 20th anniversary edition has been updated a little, but because the main points are general concepts and techniques not tied to specific technologies they are still as valid today as they were when the first edition was published.

Review of 'The Pragmatic Programmer' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A must read for developers that start to go the senior route. Sadly even with the update some topics feel a bit dated. Because of that it’s only 4 of 5 stars. But don’t let that stop you from reading it.
