Learn these 9 rules to start writing clean code immediately

I was mind-blown the day I learned about these rules and made me a better programmer instantly

I’m talking about Object Calisthenics, and if you have not heard about it, then you should definitely learn this!

During the years I had the opportunity to present this to many developers, and the reactions are always the same, first people think is a joke and they even say: “How am I supposed to write any code with these rules!”, but after trying it out most of them will agree that in fact, you can write cleaner code almost instantly if you apply the rules!

So what is it?

Jeff Bay, originally coined the term Object Calisthenics in The ThoughtWorks Anthology book as a group of exercises to Object-Oriented programming.

By applying object calisthenics you can get code that is more:

• Readable
• Reusable
• Testable
• Maintainable
