Overview of this book

Traditionally associated with Windows desktop applications and game development, C# has expanded into web, cloud, and mobile development. However, despite its extensive coding features, professionals often encounter issues with efficiency, scalability, and maintainability due to poor code. Clean Code in C# guides you in identifying and resolving these problems using coding best practices. This book starts by comparing good and bad code to emphasize the importance of coding standards, principles, and methodologies. It then covers code reviews, unit testing, and test-driven development, and addresses cross-cutting concerns. As you advance through the chapters, you’ll discover programming best practices for objects, data structures, exception handling, and other aspects of writing C# computer programs. You’ll also explore API design and code quality enhancement tools, while studying examples of poor coding practices to understand what to avoid. By the end of this clean code book, you’ll have the developed the skills needed to apply industry-approved coding practices to write clean, readable, extendable, and maintainable C# code.

Writing Clean Functions

Clean functions are methods that are small (they have two or fewer arguments) and avoid duplication. The ideal method has no parameters and does not modify the program’s state. Small methods are less prone to exceptions, so you will be writing much more robust code that benefits you in the long run as you will have fewer bugs to fix.

Functional programming (FP) is a software coding methodology that treats computations as the mathematical evaluation of computations. This chapter will teach you the benefits of treating computations as the evaluation of mathematical functions in order to void changing an object’s state.

Large methods (also known as functions) can be unwieldy to read and prone to errors, so writing small methods has its advantages. Hence, we will look at how large methods can be broken up into smaller methods. In this chapter, we will cover FP in C# and how to write small, clean methods.
