Reading code is just more important for a developer than writing code. It allows you to understand what the code does (which may be better than what you wanted to write), identify what part of the code needs a change (both for a new feature and for fixing a bug), and it helps you find a piece of code (hopefully that someone smarter or more experienced wrote) that already does what you want and copy it to your code base. Even when writing new code, you will read your code several times, way more that the times you need to rewrite it.

Good video Tim! This is one the of things I did when I worked as an IT Support Analyst. I use to work for a company that developed it's own in house apps and the best way to troubleshoot an issue with the application was to read what the code was doing and then I could better troubleshoot the issue for the customer that way.

My team spends time together just walking through a feature from screen through the controllers and views. 3 months in and my team is now fixing bugs in the new code base. I also read code from other teams and projects to pickup new ideas. Its a process. :-)

It's always laborious and often painful to dig into a new code base 😬... we should be veeery patient to go through. Some suggestions: # *Draw diagrams* : could help to understand and put in place the abstractions and relationships between the different parts of the code and figure out the architecture; Not necessarily a complex diagramming tool is needed, a simple old school big piece of paper and a pencil could be enough. # *Debug the code* : see it working, many times is very difficult the follow the code just reading it statically, in particular for code that use many interfaces (could be complicated to figure out which implementation will be there at runtime), callbacks, or even reflection 🙆‍♂️ # Don't hesitate to *ask for help* : if there is the possibility of the guidance from someone who already knows the code base, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT; obviously it means to spend some time from that person, but would avoid hooours of code-diving and maybe avoid crashing with some walls, at the end is time won for the team. Cheers! Happy coding 🤓🤙

Lovely video content! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you ever tried - Millawdon Future Ticket Trick (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is an awesome one off guide for teaching children to read without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my friend Sam at last got amazing results with it.

Great video as always Mr Tim. I have a few video suggestion if you don't mind covering it in the future and I don't know how many times have they been suggested. 1-advanced Login and registring system with email confirmation without using build-in identity system (it is too confusing ) so we know what we did and how to make changes in the future. 2- implementing payment gateways using PayPal or/and credit cards. 3- covering more about docker. and I have to apologize for asking too much but I can't find anyone else in your level when it comes to explaining complex topics like those. Thank you again and have a great day :)

@IAmTimCorey

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the suggestions. A couple of notes. The login system will always be complex because security is complicated and important. I am considering showing other ways of doing it, though. You definitely don't want to build your own. Payment gateways are hard because they are sensitive, specific, and have limited use in most applications. I will be covering Docker more as I cover microservices.

Really anticipating the next course with Blazor WASM. One day I wish to see you update the Advanced Dapper video with ASP.Net Core and/or Blazor sometime in the future. I've been working on a project that incorporates Dapper's usages following your examples with the latest Blazor videos on your channel. Now I'm at a crossroad of where I need to map multiple objects and trying to translate that advanced example from that video from over a year ago to a web version, which is holding me back, but once that is resolved/solved I will be able to replace EfCore out of the app altogether and escalate it's completion. A thing about readable code: sometimes Rider wants to refactor my model checks to ternary operators that is hard to read for new devs, sometimes for me. For example: "return object ??= error.Out : null;" is optimized, but takes a well seasoned dev to understand.

@IAmTimCorey

OK, I get your point. But I have a question. If you have it's answer, please answer.! When I started learning C# two years ago, I tried to find a book about it. A book that contains every thing about C#, but I could not find it. Why Microsoft did not issue a manual for C# that contains all it's commands, why no book that contains every thing about it ?.

@IAmTimCorey

3 жыл бұрын

That would be a very expensive book to create and maintain and you probably would not like the results. Since the language is constantly changing, the book would be out of date almost immediately. For example, in November 2019, we got Blazor Server (a new product) among other things in .NET Core 3. In May 2020 we got Blazor WebAssembly (another new product) among other things in .NET Core 3.1. Then in November 2020 we got .NET 5 with some major changes. Now coming up in November 2021, we will be getting cross-platform desktop applications, a couple new Blazor products, and a lot more. Even if they could write a book that contained everything in C#, and even if they could organize it in a way that made sense, and even if they could include enough information to make it useful, they couldn't publish it before it would be out of date. If they had published it in November 2019 (somehow getting the latest changes in print at the last minute), it wouldn't get to market until probably April or May (final proofing, printing, shipping, stocking, etc.) By that time, it would already be out of date. They do maintain docs.microsoft.com with a LOT of great information. It isn't perfect, but it is the best option we have (and a pretty good one at that - this is where I get a lot of my information from).

This is the thing I am afraid of more than anything else when It comes to development. I am afraid when I get that job I won't be able to understand their code base and will opt to add new things to it over changing what's there. Reading other people's code is hard for me, especially when they have class designs I am not familiar with.
