Journey into writing code that is readable, understandable ,maintainable and testable as well as how to prepare codebase to embrace future changes.

I wonder from time to time whether I'm doing the right thing with respect to guidelines and principles when using an object-oriented programming approach to create application. I started reading Object Design Style Guide book last year to learn more about objects. And beginning this year, I decided to delve deeper into writing code that is readable, understandable and maintainable as well as how to prepare codebase to embrace future changes.

Here are the resources used:

Book

• Object Design Style Guide:
• Principles of Package Design

Pluralsight Courses

• Writing Readable and Maintainable Code

Cheat sheet for "new style" string formatting in Python 2.6. It is modified version of examples from http://pyformat.info/ Difference is that simplest sytaxt ( '{}'.format('foo') ) does not work in Python 2.6 and you need to specify value index for each value ( '{0}'.format('foo') ).

Format:

'{1} {0}'.format('one', 'two')

Hi Nicholas,

I saw you tweet about JSX yesterday. It seemed like the discussion devolved pretty quickly but I wanted to share our experience over the last year. I understand your concerns. I've made similar remarks about JSX. When we started using it Planning Center, I led the charge to write React without it. I don't imagine I'd have much to say that you haven't considered but, if it's helpful, here's a pattern that changed my opinion:

The idea that "React is the V in MVC" is disingenuous. It's a good pitch but, for many of us, it feels like in invitation to repeat our history of coupled views. In practice, React is the V and the C. Dan Abramov describes the division as Smart and Dumb Components. At our office, we call them stateless and container components (view-controllers if we're Flux). The idea is pretty simple: components can't

Trello CSS Guide

“I perfectly understand our CSS. I never have any issues with cascading rules. I never have to use !important or inline styles. Even though somebody else wrote this bit of CSS, I know exactly how it works and how to extend it. Fixes are easy! I have a hard time breaking our CSS. I know exactly where to put new CSS. We use all of our CSS and it’s pretty small overall. When I delete a template, I know the exact corresponding CSS file and I can delete it all at once. Nothing gets left behind.”

You often hear updog saying stuff like this. Who’s updog? Not much, who is up with you?

Essential JavaScript Links

I no longer mantain this list. There are lots of other very comprehensive JavaScript link lists out there. Please see those, instead (Google "awesome JavaScript" for a start).
