What defines clean code? How does it differ from bad code? And why does bad code emerge? The basics of clean code are the foundation for every successful software project.
Writing unclean code is a bad habit. But just as habits form, it can become second nature to write clean code. Highlighting the advantages and relevance of clean coding will make it an intrinsic need for participants to consistently maintain and clean up their code.
Theory is one thing, but how do I write clean code in real projects? Using before-and-after examples, it’s demonstrated how to clean up code, make it more readable and sustainable, and build (even old) projects in a more structured and efficient way.
Programming is a team sport! Only with intense code reviews, comprehensive developer guidelines, and a shared understanding of clean code can projects be sustainably improved.
What doesn’t belong in source code, and what are the alternatives? The most common mistakes in software development are identified, and it’s explained how to avoid them in the future.
During the workshop, there is ample time to address individual problems and questions of participants and put the knowledge into the real context of the team.
Hello everyone! My name is Timo Körber, I have been working in web development for over 20 years, and I am a freelance web developer, technical consultant, startup coach, and clean coding trainer.
As a full-stack developer, developing clean and high-quality software has always been my top priority. I am a passionate clean coder and have been giving lectures and seminars on the topic of clean coding for many years. I also regularly publish YouTube videos teaching aspiring developers how to improve their code sustainably.
As a freelancer, I’ve gained deep insights into the workflows and source codes of many different companies in recent years. Whether it’s a corporation, SME, or startup, they all have one thing in common: the quality of the code directly correlates with factors like team productivity, employee satisfaction, personnel and project costs, security, technical sustainability, corporate risks, and more.
The software’s source code is the foundation of a successful project, product, and company. Neglecting its quality and maintenance results in unstable, buggy software, a subpar product, high maintenance costs, unmotivated developers, dissatisfied customers, and ultimately, a software project that needs to be rebuilt from scratch at high costs after only a few years.
In my Clean Coding Bootcamp, the workshop for efficient and sustainable web development, I teach your development team how to write clean and high-quality code, refactor old and slow code, and establish a stable and sustainable project.

No problem! Anyone proficient in the common programming languages for web development (PHP, Java, JavaScript, .NET, etc.) and familiar with object-oriented programming can participate in the workshop. While I use PHP for the code examples, they are easy to understand, so even a junior JavaScript developer won’t have any issues.
I highly recommend it! The workshop covers topics that go beyond coding and need to be managed by the team lead, such as introducing coding conventions, defining code review rules, and documenting the software.
Probably not. Some experience in project work, basic software development terminology, and foundational object-oriented programming (OOP) knowledge are required. You should ideally have at least 1-2 years of experience.
Absolutely! Only a few topics from Robert C. Martin’s books are touched upon. The workshop mostly focuses on topics that don’t originate from Uncle Bob’s material.
Definitely!!! As an experienced developer, you may often be stuck in old processes and habits. You likely work on older “legacy” projects and have gotten used to unclean code and inefficient practices. These habits need to be broken to show experienced developers that there’s a better way.
I’ve been developing web software for 20 years and have implemented countless web projects for a variety of companies during that time. So, I come from a practical background. :) To better share my knowledge, I completed trainer certification in 2020 and have been working as a software trainer since then. You can find more about my background on my website.
The onsite workshop is scheduled for a full working day (e.g., 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM), including a one-hour lunch break. Of course, I’m flexible with the exact timing. The online training can be tailored to specific needs.
The content and exercises are designed for a full day. However, I offer alternatives to a full-day workshop. Just book a free appointment with me, and we can discuss the possibilities.
Yes, the workshop can also be booked as remote online training. Just send me a message or book a free appointment.
I just need a seminar room with a projector or TV for the presentations. For the practical exercises, a few laptops should be available, depending on the team size.
It doesn’t really matter. The workshop can be adjusted to the team size. However, an ideal number would be between 4 and 10 participants.
