CleanCodePart1July 31st 2007 - 6:30 PM Presented by Robert Martin of Object Mentor Keeping code clean is a simple matter of professional ethics. In this talk, Robert Martin shows how a Java module can start clean, become messy, and then be refactored back to cleanliness. Be forewarned: this class is about CODE. We will put code on the screen, and we will read and critique it. And then, one tiny step at a time, we will clean it. You will participate in the step-by-step improvement of a module. You will see the techniques of the Prime Directive (Never Be Blocked), and Agile Design Principles brought into play. You will witness the decision-making process that agile developers employ to write code that is expressive, flexible and clean. Finally, you learn an attitude of professional ethics that defines the software developer’s craft. Quick Wrapup:We had a great turnout for Uncle Bob's first talk. The unofficial count is approximately 40 people. Thank you to all who attended! Don't miss the next meeting, Clean Code Part 2. For those who missed the meeting, here's a photo of Uncle Bob teaching us about clean code:  |
