Key benefits

  • Write code that cleanly integrates with other systems while maintaining well-defined software boundaries
  • Understand how coding principles and standards enhance software quality
  • Learn how to avoid common errors while implementing concurrency or threading

Description

Traditionally associated with developing Windows desktop applications and games, C# is now used in a wide variety of domains, such as web and cloud apps, and has become increasingly popular for mobile development. Despite its extensive coding features, professionals experience problems related to efficiency, scalability, and maintainability because of bad code. Clean Code in C# will help you identify these problems and solve them using coding best practices. The book starts with a comparison of good and bad code, helping you understand the importance of coding standards, principles, and methodologies. You’ll then get to grips with code reviews and their role in improving your code while ensuring that you adhere to industry-recognized coding standards. This C# book covers unit testing, delves into test-driven development, and addresses cross-cutting concerns. You’ll explore good programming practices for objects, data structures, exception handling, and other aspects of writing C# computer programs. Once you’ve studied API design and discovered tools for improving code quality, you’ll look at examples of bad code and understand which coding practices you should avoid. By the end of this clean code book, you’ll have the developed skills you need in order to apply industry-approved coding practices to write clean, readable, extendable, and maintainable C# code.

Who is this book for?

This coding book is for C# developers, team leads, senior software engineers, and software architects who want to improve the efficiency of their legacy systems. A strong understanding of C# programming is required.

What you will learn

  • Write code that allows software to be modified and adapted over time
  • Implement the fail-pass-refactor methodology using a sample C# console application
  • Address cross-cutting concerns with the help of software design patterns
  • Write custom C# exceptions that provide meaningful information
  • Identify poor quality C# code that needs to be refactored
  • Secure APIs with API keys and protect data using Azure Key Vault
  • Improve your code's performance by using tools for profiling and refactoring

Disclaimer: I was provided with a free copy of this book, but the below is my objective review of the bookThis book "Clean Code in C#" is a veritable tome on best practices on writing good software.It starts right off with a comparison of good vs. bad code and then delves into the basics such as:- Coding standards (and the need for one)- SOLID principles- Exception Handling- Unit & End-to-End testingIt then tackles Advanced topics such as:- Threading & Concurrency- Designing and Securing APIs- Cross-cutting concerns- Tools to improve Code QualityThe best gem is the last chapter that deals with Code Smells at the Application, Class and Method level. There is also an additional chapter on implementing creational and structural design patterns.If the reader weren't to practice any what is written, it is certainly good food for thought and practices that one can use as your skills mature.

The media could not be loaded. I wasn't sure who the author was aiming the book at - but if anything I'd say an intermediate level C# coder who has just been asked to review others' code.The first few chapters covered general advice (with good examples) on good code and bad code and were pretty easy but well-explained and I still learned things and it reinforced what I thought I knew and gave me the vocabulary to explain it.Towards the back, he seemed to veer into different territory with chapters on threading and concurrency and design patterns (2 subjects I always find difficult to understand as I rarely use either) but I really appreciated his chapter on walking through an example of how to secure APIs - again doesn't seem relevant to clean coding particularly but I have found it hard to find good examples of this elsewhere.His chapters on unit-testing and refactoring were great. All-in-All a good purchase and I'll read it again sometime.I prefer to study from tree-ware (I spend way too much time in front of a screen already) and I like underlining stuff in books as it helps me learn so I've added a quick video to show the book after I've finished.
