Mark Seemann explains how to organize code using the principle of self-similarity to make it fit in a developer's head at all levels of abstraction.
Why is software development so difficult? A major reason is that you spend more time reading than writing code. If you can decrease the time required to read existing code, you can increase productivity. You can decrease the time you waste reading complicated code by writing code that's easy to read - code that fits in your head. Code should fit in your head at all levels of abstraction. At the entry point, at the business logic level, and at the lowest levels of detail. This is fractal architecture - code that is organised according to that principle of self-similarity. Key to achieve fractal architecture are encapsulation, aggressive thresholds, and referential transparency. Code examples will be in C# - written in a style also readable to developers working in Java, TypeScript, C++, etc. Check out more of our featured speakers and talks at ndcconferences.com ndcporto.comWhat people say. Recommended as a clean approach to organizing and navigating large codebases by keeping complexity within human cognitive limits.
