Companies that we have already trained

The approach of specifically reducing dependencies in code was explained in a comprehensible and practice-oriented manner. I also found the attitude of gradually improving things locally — instead of making major changes. This pragmatic approach is realistic and effective.

TRAINING PARTICIPANTS

I went to this school myself several years ago. I was stuck up to my neck, almost motionless in the brownfield mess. generic.de showed me a way out of this misery and then (re) greedily followed it. It is now clear to me that this path has permanently changed myself and the way I develop software and has made me better and happier as a developer. I can only encourage anyone interested and doubting: go this route, you won't regret it!

The strong practical orientation with the tasks and joint coding helped a lot to make the content understandable. The homework and its review also helped me a lot.

The most common questions about our Clean Code training

Who is Clean Code training suitable for?

Our Clean Code training courses are aimed exclusively at people with programming know-how. In other words, to software developers, system and software architects, or software testers.
However, our trainers also offer presentations at management level, where they discuss the benefits of clean code development from a business perspective. Our CTO Sebastian Betzin explains how Clean Code can contribute to corporate success in the following on-demand video:

Clean code and corporate success

What previous knowledge do you need for Clean Code training?

As I said, programming know-how is required to be able to follow the courses. Participants must understand programming examples in C#, Java, Typescript, etc. and also be able to write the languages.

What training do we need to bring with us?

Especially for practical exercises, all participants should have a computer with an installed development environment, such as VSCode or VisualStudio, bring along.

How long does clean code training take?

That depends entirely on you and your wishes. We adapt the length of our Clean Code trainings to your learning goals. These can be one-day workshops or sessions over several days.

Where do the training courses take place?

That is also up to you. Either you come to us in Karlsruhe or our Clean Code trainers come to your company and hold in-house trainings with your team.

How can I book a Clean Code training?

Just write to us via the contact formthat you're interested in Clean Code training, and we'll get back to you. If you already know when you would like to take part in the training, how many participants there will be and what learning goals you are pursuing, simply enter this information in the appropriate free text field.
