Coding principles, good/bad design

Dec. 10, 2015

Julia spent time to work on legacy code she wrote last few years, she chooses the good design this time. Share 3 things: 

1.      One of favorite quotes by Sir C.A.R. (Tony) Hoare (quick sort algorithm inventor in 1959/1960) 
"Inside every large problem, there is a small problem trying to get out." 

2.      One of favorite talks: 
Less code = More Software
Peter Somerland

3.      And her favorite verse of design from Peter Somerland: 
Bad design vs good way: 
one way is to make it simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. 

 The first methods is far more difficult.
