tailieunhanh - The Art of Readable Code

As programmers, we’ve all seen source code that’s so ugly and buggy it makes our brain ache. Over the past five years, authors Dustin Boswell and Trevor Foucher have analyzed hundreds of examples of "bad code" (much of it their own) to determine why they’re bad and how they could be improved. Their conclusion? You need to write code that minimizes the time it would take someone else to understand it—even if that someone else is you. | Theory In Practice The Art of Readable Code Simple and Practical Techniques for Writing Better Code Software Development Programming The Art of Readable Code Being aware of how the code you create affects those who look at it later is an important part of developing software. The authors did a great job in taking you through the different aspects of this challenge explaining the details with instructive examples. -Michael Hunger Software Developer Neo Technology As programmers we ve all seen source code that s so ugly and buggy it makes our brain ache. Over the last five years authors Dustin Boswell and Trevor Foucher have analyzed hundreds of examples of bad code much of it their own to determine why they re bad and how they could be improved. Their conclusion You need to write code that minimizes the time it would take someone else to understand it-even if that someone else is you. This book focuses on basic principles and practical techniques you can apply every time you write code. Using easy-to-digest code examples from different languages each chapter dives into a different aspect of coding and demonstrates how you can make your code easy to understand. Simplify naming commenting and formatting with tips that apply to every line of code Refine your program s loops logic and variables to reduce complexity and confusion Attack problems at the function level such as reorganizing blocks of code to do one task at a time Write effective test code that is thorough and concise-as well as readable Dustin Boswell graduated from CalTech and worked at Google for five years on web crawling infrastructure and ad programs. He s built several websites and enjoys working on big data and machine learning. Trevor Foucher has spent the past decade at Microsoft as an engineer manager and tech lead on Windows and security products and at Google working on ad programs and search infrastructure. us CAN ISBN 978-0-596-80229-5 Twitter @oreillymedia oreilly O
