Description

Even bad code can function. But if code isn't clean, it can bring a development organisation to its knees. Every year, countless hours and significant resources are lost because of poorly written code. But it doesn't have to be that way? In this three-day Clean Code Workshop you will learn the principles and practices of Clean Code as described in Robert C. Martin's book: Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship. You will also receive this book as part of the course materials. This Clean Code course alternates between lecture and exercise so that you can experience, first-hand, the practices and disciplines of these fundamental topics.

Topics:

-Professionalism, Craftsmanship, and Clean Code.

-Choosing Meaningful Names

-Object Oriented Programming vs. Procedural Programming.

-Error Handling

-Boundaries between Subsystems

-Unit testing, and Test Driven Development

-Writing Clean Classes

-Systems

-Plan vs. Emergence
