Query: Worth reading, but don't get too excited

This book is worth reading because no other book (that I am aware of) covers implementation-related topics in so much depth. It provides a balanced treatment of some subjects and a biased treatment of others. There are a significant number of errors (in the first edition), but it is not as bad as most of the Microsoft Press books I have read. Take the advice in this book with a grain of salt -- also, if you have time, read books/essays by Fred Brooks, Edsger Dijkstra, Donald Knuth, David Parnas, Andrew Tanenbaum, Niklaus Wirth, and Edward Yourdon for more insightful commentaries on some of the topics. (The bibliography in Code Complete is quite useful.)
