11/16: Code Review, and Best Practices in CS ED

Code Review

• Short Code Review Checklist: https://foo.cs.ucsb.edu/pcr/sigcse2014/asDeliveredAtSIGCSE/example-code-review-checklist.pdf

• Article: “Coding Guidelines: Finding the Art in the Science”

  There are two different versions; same content, just formatted differently:

  • In ACM Queue: main page with link to html and pdf
  • In CACM: main page with link to html and pdf,

  Here is is the Coding Guidelines that are referred to in that article, formatted a little cleaner than the original.

• Python pep8: Style Guide for Python Code

• CodeClimate.com Free analysis tool for open source projects. (Costs money for closed source).
