C# Manual of Style: Enhancing Code Readability and Collaboration

This talk will explore best practices in naming conventions, formatting, commenting, and code structuring to prioritize readability and collaboration in C#. We’ll discuss essential strategies such as managing enums and boolean guards, avoiding sparse IFs, surviving the natural inclination toward the data clump antipattern, and emphasizing behavior over data. History shows that no developer has ever had the luxury of revisiting every line of code written on the first pass. Therefore, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned developer, critically evaluating your coding style and raising your abstraction level can significantly enhance your productivity. This isn’t about writing more code faster; it’s about producing higher-quality code in the same amount of time—or even less. Join us to learn how applying a consistent style can improve not only your work but also foster better teamwork and maintainability across projects.
