Book 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.
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
Who this book is 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.
