Clean Code

Mastering clean code, a paradigm that prioritizes clean and precisely structured program code, is a central pillar in the world of professional software development. Various quality parameters play a key role in the evaluation of program code, including features such as readability, testability, maintainability, adaptability, scalability and longevity, which ensure the continued relevance and functionality of the software.

In this course, you will receive in-depth instruction in principles and techniques that are crucial to increasing these quality criteria. We will raise your awareness of common deficiencies in code quality and provide a hands-on experience where you will learn to create clean and structurally superior code by working through specific case studies.

In addition, we ensure that you are familiarized with guidelines and best practices that will serve as valuable signposts for implementing clean code principles in real projects. This strategic focus ensures that you are optimally prepared for the demands of modern day-to-day software development work.

• Analysis of the cost effects of inferior source code

You will receive course materials in electronic form.

The detailed digital documentation package, consisting of an e-book and PDF, is included in the price of the course.

Developers who want to learn or improve the skills needed to write clean and maintainable code.

Participants should have practical experience in Java or Python. In the course, as well as in the exercises, all examples are provided in both Java and Python.

We recommend our courses on JavaScript or Python.
