This introductory course explaisn what clean code is, why it matters, and what benefits it gives. You'll start with a snippet of simple code, to get a better sense of how it works, so that you can build a product that is consistent and maintainable. Next, you will learn the DRY practice of code, so that you do not repeat yourself. From there you will observe how to organize projects and teams to write clean code and assure that code is readable, functional, and secure. You'll conclude by exploring how to review policies and procedures to help make cleaner code.
