Write great code reviews to advance your career

“

- [Instructor] No software product is ever complete. It's a cycle of adding new features, fixing bugs and performing maintenance. We also have to deal with our tools being deprecated or needing to save money by switching to a new vendor. Or maybe a new lightweight framework appears that you want to implement. Software is written by humans and humans can make mistakes. Before suggested changes are integrated into the code base, they are often reviewed and approved before they reach the end user in something called a code review. In this course, we'll talk about how code gets reviewed, how you can give a great code review and what you should look for in reviewing code written by other developers. We'll also talk about receiving a code review and how to iterate on suggested changes. Receiving feedback on your code contributions can make you a better software developer and as a great code reviewer, you can learn about components of the code base that you haven't worked on, and influence design changes. Hi, my name is Kathryn Hodge and I'm a software developer. Catching mistakes early on saves time and money. And code reviews, bring the team together and provide the opportunity for all to share knowledge and experience. Let's get started.
