Clean Code

Foreword

Clean Code is a term used to describe software code that is easy to understand, maintain, and modify. It is code that is well-organized, follows a consistent style, and uses meaningful names and functions. Clean Code is also characterized by being efficient, robust, and secure, with minimal duplication and clear documentation. It is written in such a way that it is easy for other developers to read and understand, even if they did not write it themselves. Overall, the goal of Clean Code is to make the codebase as simple, elegant, and maintainable as possible, while still achieving the desired functionality.

Everything on this site is about clean code and how to get ther e, be there and stay there.

Terms like “clean code”, “code quality”, “code maintainability”, “code readability”, “code efficiency”, “coding principles”, “code robustness”, “code simplicity”, “code elegance”, “refactoring”, “Design Patterns, “Architecture”, etc. are what this site is all about.
