ABSTRACT
What can you do to improve your code? Readable code, clean code, easier to use and modify. So how to improve your coding, what are some tips for coding beginners and more experienced developers that will result in better code? What are some programming and coding tips you can adopt to make it easier to create better software faster?
Being a software developer isn't just about being able to write code that a computer can understand, it's also about organizing ideas in a way that you, and others, can understand it too. Writing software is challenging, software is abstract, almost infinitely flexible and extremely fragile. All this means that the quality of our choices, the design of our code matters.
In this episode, Dave Farley shows five common, very bad examples that we see all the time in code and offers his advice on how to fix them and improve your software and coding. Software engineering is about continually delivering valuable software into the hands of our users: writing good quality code is an important part of this discipline.
