Best Patterns and Practices

Another goal of the neo-sharp team is to grow together and help everyone become better developers than when they started working on the project. We will continue to curate a list of resources on best patterns and practices, anti-patterns, bad habits, or any other quick reads that could be beneficial to increase the quality of code contributors of the project:

General Coding Practices and Conventions:

Neo-sharp aims to adhere to Microsft C# .NET best practices and industry standard design patterns. Please reference the following resources and familiarize yourself with recommended best practices.

C# Gettting Started This resource was a good crash course on some of the basics in C# if you are new to the language or if you could use a quick refresher.

C# Coding Conventions This is a quick resource to demonstrate code commenting, general formatting, and a quick overview.

.NET Framework Design Guidelines This is a comprehensive resource that enumerates everything from naming conventions, to proper exception handling, all the way to when to use certain collections and types.

Patterns and Anti-patterns This is a good overview of some of the more popular design patterns (and anti-patterns) with examples.

Anti-patterns and bad habits

We've all done it at some point. Here you can find some links to resources on patterns and practices that could get you in trouble as a developer.

9 Anti-patterns Every Programmer Should Be Aware Of This is a good quick list of some more general concepts that often hang developers and teams up from making good progress.
