The course I teach along with my colleagues from Telerik Corp. in High-Quality Programming Code Construction finished successfully. The results were great: more than 150 computer science students learned how to write high-quality software and how to refactor existing low-quality code, and how to write effective unit tests with high code coverage. I am happy that 80% of the students wrote and defended really well their course projects which consisted of refactoring pretty bad code and writing unit tests for it. Best students will be awarded by our sponsor – Telerik.
I feel satisfied because my mission to raise the quality of work of the Bulgarian software development community reached its first goal. Next year I will teach the same course so all interested developers could join it.
More information is available of the Web site of the course: http://codecourse.telerik.com.
