Organizing your code is an important skill for every developer. It ensures that your code is easy to follow, that it has a logical flow, and it helps you so you don’t get lost as you’re developing more features. It gets increasingly more important as you make your code more and more complex.

When you make it more complex, it becomes harder to follow what’s going on — and so organization is really key. Much like a disorganized house, when things are not stored correctly, it becomes harder and harder to find things when you’ve misplaced them. Furthermore, it becomes harder to maneuver around because there’s so much clutter everywhere. The worst part is that it becomes a messy sight that you have to deal with on a day-to-day basis.

In this video, I’m going to give a beginner’s guide to organizing code. I’ll give you some general principles that you can take right away to apply on your next programming project.

Lastly, I’ll go through an example where we’ll start off with some messy code, and then we’re going to organize it together into a really nice and neatly organized codebase.

Thank you for watching, and happy coding! 💻
