I've been writing code for 20 years.During that time I've worked on hundreds of projects with dozens of teams. I found the most important quality of lasting code is readability. When I first started writing code I just wrote code that worked. Who cares as long as it works? Years later, I went to great lengths to ensure my code adhered to all the best practices. We know our code is too complex. This is easy to realize, but hard to avoid. We're too quick to dismiss qualities like readability and accept complexity as necessary.. We need to get back to the basics of writing code for other humans. This is the goal of BaseCode. “I'm quite strict about the code I write, but I've never been able to explain why this matters. BaseCode has helped me answer that question and given me even more practices to apply everyday!” It's a field guide, not a book.BaseCode distills writing readable code into 10 practices and contains over 40 code samples. These practices focus on:
“I loved your Git course, you know how to simplify things and go the minimal way. In the coding world that means clean and lasting code. BaseCode is an absolute buy for me.” This isn't a book, it's a field guide. BaseCode applies real-world practices to everyday code. There's no fluff. No theory. I tackle common problems and use code to show solutions. Each topic is neatly organized into a chapter. If you have a bunch of nested code, read Nested Code. If you want to break up long methods, jump to Big Blocks. You can read it cover to cover or jump around to the practices that interest you. “The practices on nested code alone were a game-changer. Can't wait to read the rest.” What's available in each kit?Field GuideEvery kit includes all 118 pages and 12 chapters of BaseCode.
Code SamplesWith every kit you can download the complete code examples used in BaseCode. The folders are organized by chapter and files are named for each the example with Audio VersionThe Mid Kit and Full Kit will include with an audio version of BaseCode. This may seem strange given the code samples. However, the audio version isn't a one-to-one reading. Instead, it allows me to deliver the practices with more depth and you to listen on the go. Group Q&A CallsThe Mid Kit and Full Kit provide access to group calls. These are recordings of live-streams where other readers asked me questions about the BaseCode practices. Bonus VideosThe Full Kit includes videos demonstrating the practices applied to even more real-world code samples. They will give you a better sense of how all the practices work together.
