Keeping code clean is a simple matter of professional ethics. In this talk Robert Martin shows how a Java module can start clean, grow to become messy, and then be refactored back to cleanliness. Be forewarned: his tutorial is about code. We will put code on the screen and we will read and critique it. And then, one tiny step at a time, we will clean it. In this tutorial you will participate in the step by step improvement of a module. You will see the techniques of the Prime Directive (Never Be Blocked), and Agile Design Principles brought into play. You will witness the decision making process that Agile Developers employ to write code that is expressive, flexible, and clean. Finally, you learn an attitude of professional ethics that defines the software developer’s craft.
