I recently got interviewed at my work, ASOS.com, as part of an initiative to encourage more colleagues to use Pluralsight as an on-line tool to improve their skill-set.
Everyone in the IT department can obtain a licence and I personally have found it to be an extremely useful and informative resource of quality training material. It also allows you to view videos offline, which I find great for the commute into work!
You can view the video on YouTube. You can see me at 1:22, 2:19 and 5:13.
I recently watched a very good course on Pluralsight on writing Clean Code. It is called Clean Code: Writing Code for Humans and is authored by Cory House. I highly recommend it if you are lucky to have a Pluralsight subscription.
After watching the course I thought it would be good to write a few posts on writing Clean Code, which is what I plan to do over the coming weeks. I will be including some tips I have picked up over the years.
Other Resources
There are various other resources already available on writing clean code and on how to improve as a Software Engineer.
Robert C Martin (Uncle Bob) has a collection of videos that you can pay to watch on Clean Code on the website https://cleancoders.com.
Below are a few books that are also well known in the industry
If you are reading this and have any other suggestions please feel free to leave a comment with the details.
I’ve been meaning to post this for a while. I have signed up to Pluralsight.com and wanted to say how great I think it is!
I have watched the two C# Fundamentals courses to refresh myself and am now watching the WCF Fundamentals course ahead of taking the MCTS exam Windows Communication Foundation Development with Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on Wednesday.
I think I am hooked so will publish any other courses I watch that are any good. If you are reading this and can recommend some please do! Or if you use an alternate on-line training course website then also let me know.
