About the Book
It’s back, it’s bigger, it’s better, it’s the sequel to Alsiter Christie's previous book, it’s Code Better in Delphi.
After my last book, you can write code much faster, but without the skills to write code better, you might just end up being a highly efficient spaghetti coding machine. So stop writing that tightly coupled singleton full of duplicated code, and start reading this book.
This time, rather than looking at how fast and productive you can be, we look at quality and maintainability.
In this book, you’ll be introduced to a variety of ways you can make your code better
- How DRY is that code you just wrote?
- Is that class SOLID or crumblier than a very crumbly cookie?
- Will Refactoring improve the quality of your code?
- Are you reinventing the wheel, or should you use try Patterns?
- Will testing drive you mad?
- Are your bugs buggier than a giraffe stage beetle?
- Do you have a handle on those dependencies?
- Are your versions under control?
- What to do before disaster strikes or the zombie horde arrives?
- Are you Agile, or are you about to go over a waterfall?
- How do you calculate the Bus number for your project?
Find out the answer to these and many more questions in this book.
But wait, there’s more…
Plugins and Tools that
- Find areas of your code that might need improving.
- Tell you about Complex areas of code you can simplify.
- Where you are making common coding mistakes.
- Help remove redundancy and orphaned code.
- Let you know when code is leaker than a knitted canoe.
- Automate your testing
