These two presentations try to explore generic good practices in coding giving advice that should be in great part independent of the programming language. In the releases page you can find all versions of the talks as PDF file, while clicking on the book and floppy disk icons only the last version is accessible.
This presentation has been prepared based on the «Clean code» book by Robert C. Martin, also known as uncle Bob. It was originally given in a C++ user group meeting and, therefore, the code examples are in C++, but the abstract ideas are totally independent from the programming language.
After having presented the Clean Code part I got asked for a follow up about testing. I gave it a try, collecting several ideas around in books and on the web. It turned out to be more challenging than expected, so I do not guarantee to have succeded. 😇 Most of the material I used to prepare this presentation is mentioned in the talk itself (cf. slide about different types of tests). To stay consistent with the previous presentation, I continued using C++ as programming language for examples, but, once again, the advice should go way beyond the specific language.
