it has been years since I read the book, but I'm surprised that there's so much hatred for it here. From memory it seemed like fairly harmless things like give things good names, try to make the code readable, dont comment what the code does but why, use consistent formatting, avoid duplication. Other than people going overboard with empty classes and inheritance Ive not really seen a problem of people breaking down functions too far. Which parts are important to grow out of?
