Clean Code Adventures with Uncle Bob


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of clean coding with none other than the master and pioneer of the field, Uncle Bob. We explore the nuances and the art behind writing effective and efficient scripts. This conversation covers the nitty-gritty of writing and editing scripts, from understanding how to break down large functions, to discussing principles like 'Single Responsibility Principle', 'Dependency Inversion Principle' and how to balance the 'DRY' (Don't Repeat Yourself) principles. Uncle Bob also shares valuable insights on testing, handling errors, naming conventions and how to work with different types of duplication in coding. He shares recommended resources and books that every coder should read.
