High quality clean code doesn't come easy and it certainly isn't cheap. Anyone that has attempted to shift towards a "cleaner code" approach can assert that it is usually challenging to say the least. In this session we'll review the top characteristics of clean code, look at what it takes to get it there, and go over what it might cost us along the way. We'll also discuss the payoffs this will bring us in both the near term and over the long haul if done correctly. If high quality clean code is something you find yourself striving for, then this is a session for you.
