Clean code: Writing code for Humans

May 29, 2017

Study the code on pluralsight.com. The course is called "Clean code: Writing code for Humans".

Read the article on pluralsight.com. "7 reasons clean code matters" article is here to read.

Take some notes here.

The course is released on Oct. 7, 2013. It is always on time!

Julia, it is always better to learn coding styles, principles first and then practice leetcode algorithms.


Cory House   - the lecturer of the course's website is here.


assign booleans implicitly (Julia's favorite rating: 7 out of 10)

- 3 good reasons to create a function (10 out of 10)

convey intent, eliminate excessive indentation, avoid duplication

problem with zombie code



Boundaries matter - (Julia's rating: 9 out of 10)

dynamic JS in C# (JavaScript and C# etc),
html in JS string,
JS in HTML (JavaScript and Html),
inline Styles (css and html),
Dynamic SQL in C# strings


Stay native - advantages (Julia's favorite ranking 9 out of 10)
1. Cached
2. Code colored
3. Syntax checked
4. Separation of concerns
5. Reusable
6. Avoids string parsing
7. Can minify & obfuscate

Maximize signal to noise ratio (Excellent concept!)

Signal
Logic that follows the TED rules:

Terse
Expressive
Do one thing

Noise

High cyclomatic complexity
Excessive indentation
zombie code
unnecessary comments
poorly named structures
huge classes
long methods
repetition
no white space
overly verbose


Self-documenting code

Well written code is self-documenting.

Clear intent
Layers of abstractions
Format for readability
Favor code over comments

Complex conditionals


Discussion topic - excessive indentation: solutions

extract method
fail fast
return early

Mayfly variable - just in time
