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.

Refactoring C# Code

In this chapter, we will look at the problem code and how to refactor it. In the industry, problematic code is normally termed code smell. It is code that compiles, runs, and does what it is supposed to do. The reason it is problem code is that it becomes unreadable, complex in nature, and makes the code base hard to maintain and extend further down the line. Such code should be refactored as soon as it’s feasible to do so. It is technical debt, and in the long run, if you don’t deal with it, it will bring the project to its knees. When this happens, you are looking at an expensive redesign and must recode the application from scratch.

So, what is refactoring? Refactoring is the process of taking existing code that works and rewriting it such that the code becomes clean. As you have already discovered, clean code is easy to read, easy to maintain, and easy to extend.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
