What is good code? This book provides specific guidelines for well-written code in the .NET context. The contents are based on award-winning material the author has presented at conferences throughout the US and Europe. There is debate about good code because there is not a single good piece of code, but many good pieces of code, each depending on the context that it is used. The author, an acknowledged expert on the subject of .NET coding style and techniques, explains that good code results from using patterns, but that not all good pieces of code are patterns.
