Course Description

Write Better CodeIt's easy enough to write code that works - however, code that simply 'works' just isn't good enough. Is it easy to understand? Is it easy to maintain? Is it easy to change? Is it easy to test? In other words - does it employgood software architecture principles?
This course is about helping you to learn how to write good code using tried-and-tested principles from the world of object-oriented software development in languages like Java and C#. Specifically, we'll unpack what SOLID means, what its benefits are, and how you can apply SOLID principles in order to improve the architecture ofyour own code - regardless of which object-oriented programming language you use. You'll learn how to look at code, identify problems, and how to improve the code by using SOLID principles. To help you with this, the course also contains a quiz that is focused on refactoring code to conform to SOLIDprinciples.
It's a short course that you can work through in an hour, but it's intended to equip you with skills that you can apply throughout a lifetime of programming!
Some Review Feedback"The content is structured, step by step is laid out clearly and concisely, the code examples are definitely the icing on the cake as it takes the principles into real world examples which are very valuable.""Great course with easy to understand examples. Good for first time explanation and as a refresher""Firstly, the course focuses on a really important topic that most developers usually skip over, and secondly the course itself is really well thought through with the examples explaining exactly how code can be improved for readability, testing, and to ensure the code is easy to change later on.""The salient points were well covered, and the code examples are clear enough to illustrate and support each SOLID principle discussed. As a student, were able to understand and appreciate the benefit of applying SOLID principles, and writing better code."This course includes the option of a 30-day, no-questions-asked refund if you're not happy with it.
Who this course is for:
Object-oriented programmers who want to learn how to write better code.
Junior- to intermediate Java and C# developers.
Anyone with an interest in software architecture and the structure of good code.

It's great to get to know the core concepts that are involved in using SOLID for better code development

By Luis Caliz on 11/26/2020

The examples really helped to understand each principle. Everything was very clear and explained in detail.

Thanks to the Lecturer...!

By Andy Cooke on 9/20/2020

So far this is better than another SOLID course I looked at on Udemy, because it seems to be a little more practical - showing how abstract ideas can be applied to improve code.

By G Chandran Chandran on 9/17/2020

The content is the course is good. And the code background is veryhard to see casually

By Song Vo on 9/12/2020

This course is simplistic enough for you to capture and get basic ideas of SOLID. I need focus and thinking carefully in Quiz Refactoring. This is most important part in this course.

Screen was blur sometime, unable to read, it is looking like speaker just reading the content on the slides

Is perfect because is tide to an hr, but to many slides of only test that is just read. But overall clear.
