Been there. Done that.
team of mature, experienced Rails programmers who provide software development services for large companies with millions of dollars of yearly gross income.
I've been to IT industry for 20+ years.
As a programmer and businessman. I connect these two types of thinking to get the best of two worlds. Period.
I've been to IT industry for 20+ years. As a programmer and businessman. Over all these years I've seen thousands of lines of disgusting and unstructured code that was steeped with unnecessary IF/ELSE statements.
Together with my Team we said: enough.
Let's fight it.
Let no self-respecting programmer in the world use them anymore.
Regardless if you're a JS dev or Java or C# or Ruby - we all struggle with the same - IF monsters.
This course if for all programmers who care about code quality.
Learn how to kill all the big and ugly IF statements in your codebase. A practical training, based on real code examples, typical to real-world projects.
This course is language-agnostic. Many examples will be with Ruby, but it's not language-specific and will be readable to everyone.
Get through the refactoring of Gilded Rose - a famous refactoring kata. See how and why which techniques are applied.
Learn how to use mutation testing tools to ensure your changes are safe. You can aim the deathclaw, only if no mutants are around. The TDD process enhanced with test coverage tools is your new friend.
Using business language in your codebase is crucial. Learn patterns which replace IFs with better named abstractions - value objects, aggregates, process managers
I can't promise I will teach you monads. But I will try. Other FP techniques here too. Immutability as a weapon for complex IF/ELSE blocks.

Mentoring juniors how to avoid IFs
DeMorgan laws
But hey, don't worry, it's not about you watching for as long as possible. This is just a small part of what's inside
This course is a mix of written content (like what you're reading now), screenshots and photos & videos. For us programmers, it's easier to scan text and look at code as a text. However, some refactoring techniques is useful to show as screencasts.
After joining you will get access to ALL of the listed below:
So we gathered them all below to simplify the answering process.
If you have any other, just drop us an email and we're gonna reply quickly.
I thought you will never ask.
...and counting! Except for you (yet) of course.
All of our courses and trainings are used by 2000+ programmers
around the world to empower their dev skills on a day-to-day basis.
"Absolutely fantastic and inspiring course. Well structured and clearly explained. I was able to apply the concepts I've learned directly to the production code. Highly recommend!"
"Excelent course. We are learnt about how to think about legacy and start changing it. It not another course, that will show you theory. Here is practice from real expert."
"It shows few simple tricks, how to get rid of if-statements cluttering your code. Even IF you will not be able to replace them completely, it will definitely make your code more flexible and readable. Definitely recommend checking this out!"
At first, I wan't sure if it will be useful, but I saw many people recommending it. Well, I have to say... My worries went away just after first module. In my opinion, every software developer should go through it, and will make life easier to everyone. Code will be cleaner, less chunky and easier to understand. If someone is worried that course in based on Ruby - don't. It has very easy to understand syntax, you can apply everything you learn here into your main programming language and you will be happy as hell - well, your colleagues too - and I am sure, that in most cases, they will ask where did you get the idea to write the code this way."
"I like the structure of this course because there is an explanation of ‘what’ we’re going to do and what we want to achieve. Then there is explained also ‘why’ ie. why we need to do a step (which is not always obvious because some steps could be considered as degradation or code smell, but it helps make code better later). And of course, there is also ‘how’ to do these small steps.Besides the structure, the content (knowledge) is also great! I learnt techniques and tricks to refactor code and make my life easier. Furthermore how to cover my back during the whole process of refactoring.In summary excellent masterpiece :)But, what I don’t like is that mutant gem isn’t free (for commercial use) :D"
I remember that I joined to the Arkademy course platform without any recommendations, just with the trust and hope. And - WOW! How good decision it was! Of course there has to be cons... They don't create the courses about everything.

I learned a lot valuable knowledge about DDD, CQRS, Event Sourcing, Pub/Sub. The knowledge improved my thinking a lot about how to avoid coupling issues in larger applications. I got a lot of value from videos and the Live Meetings.

A few months ago Andrzej asked me if I don't wanto to improve the skills of my team through his Academy. I was a little afraid, we use a lot of different technologies. Now I know that it was a good decision and my dream to have team of the best IT exprets is coming true!

Really good stuff especially first about microservices. Some time ago I was worried about the performance and cost of this solution, but right now I can admit that with a good architecture of services this should not be a big problem after all.
