CleanCodeExamples is a collection of practical code examples that demonstrate both bad and good coding practices, inspired by the principles of Clean Code. The main objective of this project is to help developers improve their programming skills by showcasing real-world examples of what to avoid and what to strive for when writing clean and maintainable code.
Purpose The purpose of CleanCodeExamples is to provide developers with tangible illustrations of the consequences of poor coding practices and the benefits of adhering to clean coding principles. By studying these examples, developers can gain insights into how code readability, maintainability, and collaboration can be significantly improved through clean coding practices.
Contents The repository is organized into thematic folders, each representing a specific programming concept or language. Within these folders, you will find subfolders containing code examples that demonstrate both bad code and corresponding refactored versions showcasing clean code.
Examples of bad code highlight common pitfalls, such as poorly chosen variable names, code duplication, long and complex methods, and unstructured code. These examples serve as cautionary tales, emphasizing the negative impact of neglecting clean coding principles.
Examples of good code showcase well-structured, readable, and maintainable code. These examples focus on clear and meaningful variable names, concise and focused methods, proper code organization, and adherence to best practices. By studying these examples, developers can learn effective strategies for writing clean code.
Contributions Contributions to CleanCodeExamples are highly encouraged.
