Description

Clean code—understandable, modifiable, and testable code that works—is not exactly a new topic. In fact, the topic has been around for decades. But that doesn’t mean it’s a solved problem. Everybody who has worked on a nontrivial codebase has likely encountered unclean code. Unclean code is bad for business and developers alike, prevents agility, and poses security risks.

Georg Gruetter explains what clean code is, why unclean code is undesirable, the reasons for unclean code, how to recognize unclean code, and what you can do to avoid it.
