Designing for Code Clarity
Code that is well designed is easier to develop, maintain, and performance-tune.
A program that is well designed follows a clear and logical plan.
The code should be explicit. Code that is not explicit may hide bugs that may or may not surface immediately.
Attributes of Well Designed Code
- Clearly defined and aptly named methods
- Clearly defined roles for each aspect
- JavaScript for behavior
- CSS for appearance
- HTML for content
- Server-side processing for application state
