I have reached the upper half of the ladder. (I do not count the CCD black degree.)
Green is the 4th CCD degree and emphasises:
- Principles
- Open Closed Principle
- Tell, don’t ask
- Law of Demeter
- Practices
- Continuous Integration (Build & Test)
- Static Code Analysis (Metrics)
- Inversion of Control Container
- Share experiences
The principles focus proper class design and lead to loose coupling. The same is true when making use of a container. Continuous integration and metrics increase productivity, for they check your software quality automatically. Once more, there are no rules at this degree.
I think I can rush through this degree, because I use these principles and practices (almost) every day. There is one exception: I have to get more interested in the code metrics, for I have really lost sight of that.
Sharing experiences – that is what a blog is for, isn’t it?
