《程序员修炼之道》读书笔记

#这是一本值得每个程序员细细品味的书。

P5 编程是一种技艺，一种用心学习的技艺。 Someone who loves program and being clever about it.
#对于任何一种工作都是如此，不只是编程。

P12 Care about your craft
Think your work
#学而不思则罔，思而不学则怠。其实工作和学习也是一样，是边干边思考的过程，二者有机的结合才能进步。

P14 It's a Continuous Process
A tourist visiting England's Eton College asked the gardener how he got the
lawns so perfect. "That's easy," he replied, "You just brush off the dew every
morning, mow them every other day, and roll them once a week."
"Is that all?" asked the tourist.
"Absolutely," replied the gardener. "Do that for 500 years and you'll have a
nice lawn, too."

#原文注释：你不能强迫别人改变，相反，要向他们展示未来可能会怎样，并帮助他们参与对未来的改造。
P30 Remember the Big Picture
#眼望星空，脚踏实地。
P32 Make Quality a Requirements Issue
#质量是基础
P33 An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.
Benjamin Franklin
#知识真正被消化了，才能产生效益。
P34 As the value of your knowledge declines, so does your value to your
company or client. We want to prevent this from ever happening.
#作为一个IT人，需要不断学习，更新知识结构，这是幸运，也是不幸，但是你在这个行业，就无法改变。
P34 Your Knowledge Portfolio
1. Serious investors invest regularly—as a habit.
2. Diversification is the key to long-term success.
3. Smart investors balance their portfolios between conservative
and high-risk, high-reward investments.

P46 DRY—Don't Repeat Yourself
#当你看到系统充满来Copy/Paste的时候，想起这句话不知作何感想？

P52 Make It Easy to Reuse
#易用性是法宝。
P54 Eliminate Effects Between Unrelated Things
#对于JEE项目，软件分层是个最基本的原则，但是经常看到的系统连这个都不能坚持。
#软件平台化，模块化，是个大家都认为对的事情，但是往往作为重要不紧急的事项，被一拖再拖，其作用无法发挥，同时公司越来越陷于低水平重复，到处救火的状态，而不能自拔。

P62 Nothing is more dangerous than an idea if it's the only one you have.

P67 Use Tracer Bullets to Find the Target
#敏捷开发，快速构建。

P82 Estimate to Avoid Surprises
#估计是需要历史数据作为支持的，有模型的支持。

P92 Unix is famous for being designed around the philosophy of small,
sharp tools, each intended to do one thing well.
#笨重的紧密耦合的系统，是开发的噩梦。
P98 Use a Single Editor Well
#用一个工具，把它用好，而不是很多工具，这和练武一样，关键是把一种功夫搞精通，而不是学习很多花架子。

P102 Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. Those
who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
George Santayana, Life of Reason
#忘记过去，就是背叛，就要挨打。
P106 Fix the Problem, Not the Blame
#抱怨很多时候是没有用的，关键是能够真正的解决问题。

P154 Minimize Coupling
#降低耦合，是系统成功的关键。
P160 Configure, Don't Integrate
#分清楚哪些参数是需要可配置的。对于注解，哪些是和程序紧密绑定的，哪些是需要灵活配置的。

P166 Analyze Workflow to Improve Concurrency
#并发设计，是提高工作效率和性能的主要手段。如果软件能够支持横向扩展，基本就不担心性能的问题。

P171 Always Design for Concurrency
#水平扩展，是系统设计非常重要的方面，特别是对于机器相对于人力极为廉价的时代。
P172 Still, a man hears
What he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
La la la…
Simon and Garfunkel, "The Boxer"
#奥秘需要细细体会。

2. Don't code blindfolded.
3. Proceed from a plan.
4. Rely only on reliable things.
5. Document your assumptions.
6. Don't just test your code, but test your assumptions as well.
7. Prioritize your effort.
8. Don't be a slave to history.

P199 Refactor Early, Refactor Often

P225 Gordius, the King of Phrygia, once tied a knot that no one could untie. It
was said that he who solved the riddle of the Gordian Knot would rule all of

his sword. Just a little different interpretation of the requirements, that's
all… and he did end up ruling most of Asia.

#合适的工具而不是昂贵的工具。

P235 At Group L, Stoffel oversees six first-rate programmers, a managerial
challenge roughly comparable to herding cats.
The Washington Post Magazine, June 9, 1985
#架构师需要激励，而不是控制。管理者同理。
P241 Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations we
can perform without thinking.
Alfred North Whitehead
#习惯决定命运。
P242 Don't Use Manual Procedures
#自动化
P246 Suppose you wanted to automate code review scheduling and approval. You
might put a special marker in each source code file:
/* Status: needs_review */
#it seems one good choice.

P248 Test Early. Test Often. Test Automatically.
#测试，不是可有可无。
P249 Coding Ain't Done 'Til All the Tests Run
#测试完成，才是开发结束。
P249 There are several major types of software testing that you need to perform:

? ? Usability testing

P265 Gently Exceed Your Users' Expectations
