Requirements
- Basic knowledge in on programming languages. While the presentations will use Swift as example, the information is general.
Learning how to write code does not finish when a programmer learns a new programming language.
On the contrary, the interesting part just starts then.
He or she needs to learn what is the best way to write the code in that language so it is easy to understand and to maintain.
The course teaches you lots of small secrets that will tremendously improve your code.
Each lesson will show you an example, teach you how to improve it, and explain you the reason for it.
- Beginner and intermediate level developers who are looking to improve their code.

Working in the software industry for over 15 years, I've been always passionate about how to improve the code. I realized that the knowledge about how to implement a piece of functionality is only a small part of what makes a developer a good developer.
I researched the topic and the result was a book, "Coding in style" that tries to prove that even a small effort in improving the code can bring huge benefits.
I created a series of YouTube videos on this topic as well.
A course has just been a natural continuation of this efforts.
