How to do a SQL self join with nulls

Question

I am using MS SQL 2008. My table looks like this:

| Name  | Code | Amt  |
| ----- | ---- | ---- |
| April |  A   | 1.23 |
| Barry |  A   | 2.34 |
| Barry |  B   | 3.45 |
| Cliff |  A   | 4.56 |
| Cliff |  B   | 5.67 |
| Cliff |  C   | 6.78 |

I need the output to be this:

| Name  | Code_A | Code_B | Code_C |
| ----- | ------ | ------ | ------ |
| April |  1.23  |  NULL  |  NULL  |  
| Barry |  2.34  |  3.45  |  NULL  |
| Cliff |  4.56  |  5.67  |  6.78  |

The NULLs can be zero.

With a self join I am able to get Cliff, but unable to get Barry and April because i'm using something like this which only outputs if all three conditions are available.

SELECT     a.Name, a.Amt Code_A, b.Amt Code_B, c.Amt Code_C
FROM       Table_1 as c INNER JOIN
                  Table_1 AS b ON c.Name = b.Name INNER JOIN
                  Table_1 AS a ON b.Name = a.Name 
WHERE     (a.Code = 'A') AND (b.Code = 'B') AND (c.Code = 'C')

Instead of JOINs, I think a PIVOT is more appropriate here:

SELECT 
    Name, 
    [A] AS Code_A, 
    [B] AS Code_B, 
    [C] AS Code_C
FROM (
    SELECT Name, Code, Amount
    FROM Table_1
) t
PIVOT (
    SUM(Amount)
    FOR Code IN ([A], [B], [C])
) AS pvt
