CANCELLED! Bytes & Bites: Code refactoring - from spaghetti to lasagna In-Person
Bytes & Bites: Code refactoring - from spaghetti code to code lasagna In-Person
It is the second session of the year and we are looking at perhaps the toughest part of coding, how to fix projects that have become a bit too much of a mess to continue working on. We will cover some tips for refactoring and then eat pizza while working on cleaning up our code and supporting each other.
This session is open to all levels of programmers and is officially set as a level 1+ (as according to our level system), but might be best suited for those at 1.5 to 2.5.
As always there will be soft drinks and pizza available for all and the opportunity to talk to each other or the research software engineer about the session or any programming gripes, problems, or questions you have!
The location is NU Building 04B17.

Hi there, I work in the library as the research software engineer. Basically I help researchers and students learn how to program, make tools for people, and answer questions about coding. I used to work as a chef, so I am also happy to ask questions about cooking and food!
If you have questions about the events or are a researcher in need of help with your code then email me at: c.c.greene@vu.nl
