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.

The code review process

The normal procedure for carrying out a code review is to make sure your code compiles and meets the requirements set. It should also pass all unit tests and end-to-end tests. Once you are confident that you can compile, test, and run your code successfully, it is checked into the current working branch. Once checked in, you must issue a pull request.

A peer reviewer will then review your code and share comments and feedback. If your code passes the code review, your code review is completed, and you can merge your working branch into the main trunk. Otherwise, the peer review will be rejected, and you will be required to review your work and address the issues raised in the comments provided by your reviewer.

The following diagram shows the peer code review process:
