Video: Oh, the Methods You’ll Compose!

November 2, 2011 — Leave a comment

Dr. Seuss's book, "Oh, The Places You'll Go!"

In the spirit of Dr. Seuss, this video begins,

When a coder sits down to start banging out code,
the first thing to start crowding his cognitive load
is whether his program will do what it should.
“Correctness,” he says, “is what makes my code good.”

But it goes on to explain why clean, readable code matters, and ways to get there…

For such a short video, it has a lot of meat. And I love that last sentence!

But I see mixed reviews of the Kent Beck book that inspired it, Implementation Patterns. Have you read it? Please share your own short review in the comments below.

And if you haven’t read it… what did you think of the video?

I'm passionate about not just improving our code, but improving the way we code.
