Usually I would say you right, though some of this books are more theoretical so I did not do this. Others like TDD yes. Indeed code complete is also a great book, though on my experience is a little outdated and a lot of the same stuff is covered by clean code, which is a lot easier to read. That's why I did not include it ahah

You're probably right about Code Complete being outdated, it's been a while since I read it. One section stuck with me though -- how the aim is to remove complexity from any system. So true. As for the rest ... yeah, Clean Code just about covers it, and in a more enjoyable way.
