Modular code development - Making reusing parts of your code easier

Type-along/demo where we discuss and experience aspects of (un)modular code development. We will focus on the “why”, not on the “how”.

Image to get started: The curse of bad code design (Ten simple rules for quick and dirty scientific programming. PLoS Comput Biol 17(3): e1008549. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1008549)

Slides

We also have some slides: https://github.com/coderefinery/modular-code-development. But here we will try to do this as collaborative type-along where instructors try to solve a problem together and where learners guide the instructors through a collaborative document.

The lesson

• Starting questions for the collaborative document
• Learning outcomes
• Our task
• Types of encapsulation

Solution

• An iterative solution
