The Best Practice

Programing
 “Good programming practices and
techniques can be applied in many
different environments and types of
systems, but coding is just one of the
things that modern developers do.”
Sandro Mancuso, The Software Craftsman.

It's only I'll show you
3 steps the first thing
you should do

Raúl .A Alzate | Best Practice Programing

1. Identify the Code
Smell
● Bloaters
● Object-Orientation Abusers
● Change Preventers
● Dispensables
● Couplers

2. Apply some
refactoring techniques
● Composing Methods
● Moving Features between
Objects
● Organizing Data
● Simplifying Conditional
Expressions
● Simplifying Method Calls
● Dealing with Generalization

3. Review your Code
● Your code must be understood
by another programmed.
● It must not have duplicate code.
● Contain a minimum number of
classes and other parts.
● Pass all the tests.
● It is easier and cheaper to
maintain!
● If the above is not right, return
to the previous step.

2. Don’t Use The ELSE Keyword

Raúl .A Alzate | Best Practice Programing

3. Wrap All Primitives And String

Encapsulate all the primitives

within objects

Raúl .A Alzate | Best Practice Programing

4. First Class Collections

Any class that contains a

collection should contain no
other member variables

Raúl .A Alzate | Best Practice Programing

5. One Dot Per Line

You should not chain method calls

Raúl .A Alzate | Best Practice Programing

6. Don’t Abbreviate

Why Do You Want To Abbreviate?

Raúl .A Alzate | Best Practice Programing

7. Keep All Entities Small

Long files are harder to read

8. No Classes With More Than Two Instance
Variables

high cohesion,
and better encapsulation.

Maintain the state of a single instance

variable
