I have not read this book but the list of tips seemed to be bit too much. I am really a fan of all simplicity and tips from getting real book.

But someone who has read both books can explain it better.

Well, for what it's worth, I really liked it and consider it a keeper. It's on my bookshelf between "Programming Pearls" and "Mythical Man month".

It's less about programming per se and more about how to think about programming.

I found the book underwhelming, but then I realized that programming blogs have probably ripped off every single paragraph.

I preferred Kernighan and Pike's _The Practice of Programming_ to both TPP and Code Complete, though. _Programming Pearls_ (and its sequel) have also held up well to repeated reading.
