This doesn't teach you design, it teaches you CSS, Javascript and HTML. For what it is, it's not a bad book.

This is a book that says "what if everything changes because nothing changes?" There's no oil. There's very little ecosystem left. There's been a couple of plagues. And clean food -- calories -- is so hard to come by that when a new fruit shows up in the Thai marketplaces, it's immediate cause for interest by the corporate research who suspects that the Thai have a hidden seedbank and a top ranked geneticist to bring species back from the dead.

Review of 'Clean Code' on 'Storygraph'

It's a good book, but if you've read Code Complete or Code Craft, there's little in this book that is absolutely new. I did find the digs at the ActiveRecord "mixing business logic with DTOs" interesting... apparently Uncle Bob differs from Marten Fowler on this, as Fowler's explicitly complained about people making their domain objects "anemic."
