As a writer of code, the complier isn’t your only audience. Your coworkers—and even your future self, when you fix bugs—must be able to easily understand your original intent. In this course, learn why it’s important to write code that’s clean—or, easily understood by both computers and humans—and how to do it in practice. Instructor Scott Ford reviews how to ensure that different aspects of your code are clearly and thoughtfully constructed, including names, formatting, and logic. Plus, he explains what a “clean” unit test looks like, and how to ensure that your tests are fast and efficient.

Topics include:

  • The importance of clean names
  • Naming classes and types
  • Rules for naming local and member variables
  • Why clean formatting matters
  • Making good use of loops
  • Keeping your unit tests isolated
