Learning objectives

In this seminar, participants will learn the basics of Clean Code. Among other things, they learn about the three most important Clean Code Developer principles:

These principles are deepened through exercises, other principles such as the SOLID Principles are conveyed.

In addition to the principles of software development, this seminar is about integrating AI tools such as Claude Code, OpenCode or GitHub CoPilot into the development process in order to achieve high productivity.

Writing automated tests has become easier thanks to the use of AI tools, but at the same time it is fundamental to ensure correctness. In the training, we focus on the strategy of testing. AI tools are used to accelerate the development process.

Prerequisites

Participants must be able to use a programming language fluently. Participants must also be able to use a test framework such as NUnit, JUnit or similar. Further details you can find here. If you have no previous knowledge of using a test framework, we offer a Introductory seminar to.

During the training, participants are encouraged to use AI tools. Subscriptions to Claude Code, GitHub CoPilot or ChatGPT, for example, are an advantage, but free models can also be used.

Customer testimonials

Here you will find our ProvenExpert profile.

"The clean code training with Stefan gave us a lot of food for thought to rethink our previous approach and to see things from a different perspective, which has made a significant contribution to improving our code quality and our development process. The success factors are certainly the iterative training model built up over a longer period of time, as well as Stefan's competent, entertaining, interesting, goal-oriented and situational training implementation."
Gunter Ziesel, Team Leader eCommerce DevelopmentWürth IT GmbH
"Many thanks for the two refactoring workshop days. The feedback from the team on the events was extremely positive."
Christoph Schmid, Team Leader123erfasst.de GmbH
"Stefan coached our team for over a year in 10 sessions. With Flow Design, he gave us a method to develop cleaner and more maintainable code and to better parallelize the development of a feature in the team. Through a combination of theoretical principles, practical exercises and discussions based on our real projects, he helped us to better understand the requirements for maintainable code and to apply them in practice. This enables us at COMPAREX AG to respond even better to customer requirements and develop high-quality software efficiently."
Tino Schnerwitzki, Team Leader Application DevelopmentCOMPAREX AG
"We used to suffer from legacy code. As a remedy, we found clean code and Stefan, who led us on the path to becoming successful clean coders. Now, developing a modern microservice architecture in a DevOps team is really fun."
Markus Rothhöft, Head of Software DevelopmentM.S.E. Ltd.
"Stefan Lieser's training courses are professionally sound and extremely pleasant on a personal level. He passes on his in-depth experience in a collegial and pointed manner, which makes learning with him both effective and inspiring. For these reasons, more than a dozen of our employees have already been trained by Stefan."
Michael Speer, Management Boardgeneric.de software technologies AG
"The workshops with Stefan have given us a new perspective on our legacy code. Using suitable methods, we were able to optimize the production of new code in the areas of design, programming and automated testing. With legacy code, controlled and measured refactoring and putting the code under test leads to better software quality as well as faster and therefore more cost-effective expansion options."
Alexander Schmidt, Head of Software DevelopmentCompra GmbH
"The iterative implementation of the workshop with Stefan has enabled us to make great progress in improving code quality within six months. The key factors for us were the iterative approach, the practical exercises and the joint analyses of the individual solutions, as well as the small working groups."
Rainer Trunk, Process ManagerODS Marketing GmbH
"In the CCD workshops, Stefan challenges us to question the familiar and break new ground. In the workshops, Stefan doesn't mince his words and always gets us out of our comfort zone. The regular practice that Stefan has encouraged us to do has become an important part of our work."
Klaus Stein, Manager responsible for training and developmentMitutoyo CTL Germany GmbH
