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.

Summary

We started the chapter by learning what AOP is, and we also discussed AOP frameworks that enable the separation of cross-cutting concerns from business logic when you are programming. This helps you to focus on business logic and keep your code clean and succinct.

Next, we covered how AOP works with PostSharp. We covered extending the aspect framework by developing our own aspect, injecting aspect behaviors before and after method execution, and extending the architectural framework.

Finally, we built a reusable library to address various cross-cutting concerns. These concerns included caching, logging, exception handling, security, validation, resource pool, configuration settings, and instrumentation concerns.

In the next chapter, we will look at using tools to help you improve your code quality. But before then, test your knowledge and then further your reading.
