Clean and efficient code enables continuous adaptation of software to new needs. Most developers fundamentally know how clean code should look like but often lack the knowledge of how to specifically and systematically detect and improve poor code.

Course topics:
- Identify and name code anti-patterns ("code smells")
- Strategies and tactics for refactoring
- Using automated refactoring techniques in the IDE
- Clean Code principles: Broken Window Theory, DRY, KISS, YAGNI, Boy Scout Rule
- Meaningful and precise naming
- Numerous practical exercises (with and without IDE)
- Basics of further topics where appropriate (e.g. Test-Driven Development, Domain-Driven Design, Ports and Adapters, Clean Architecture)

The course is designed as a hands-on workshop, offering many practical exercises and tasks to be worked on within their own IDE. The emphasis is placed on collaborative learning about code quality topics to establish a culture of continuous improvement and addressing code quality issues.

Disclaimer: The actual course content may vary from the above, depending on the trainer, implementation, duration and constellation of participants.

Whether we call it training, course, workshop or seminar, we want to pick up participants at their point and equip them with the necessary practical knowledge so that they can apply the technology directly after the training and deepen it independently.
