Free EBook: C# HandBook
By admin on Oct 28, 2008 in .NET, C#, free ebook
This document covers many aspects of programming with C#, from naming, structural and formatting conventions to best practices for using existing and developing new code.
It’s the manual developed at Encodo Systems AG for developing with C# and .NET, but many of the concepts and ideas can be applied to any programming language. The intent of this document is not to codify current practice at Encodo as it stands at the time of writing; instead, this handbook has the following aims:
- To maximize readability and maintainability by prescribing a unified style.
- To maximize efficiency with logical, easy-to-understand and justifiable rules that balance code safety with ease-of-use.
- To maximize the usefulness of code-completion tools and accommodate IDE- or framework-generated code.
- To prevent errors and bugs (especially hard-to-find ones) by minimizing complexity and applying proven design principles.
- To improve performance and reliability with a list of best practices.
Wherever possible, however, the guidelines include a specific justification for each design choice. Unjustified guidelines must be either justified or removed.
Whereas the Encodo Handbook draws mostly on in-house programming experience, it also includes ideas from Microsoft’s Internal Coding Guidelines and Design Guidelines for Developing Class Libraries and benefits as well from both the IDesign and Philips coding styles as corroborative sources.
