Art of Reading Code: What You May Not Have Learned in School

We're reviewing the code that activates a magnetic latch to unlock a door when an approved RFID key is swiped.

Next-Level Embedded - Topic: Art of Reading Code, Unlock New Code Bases and Truly Valuable Code Reviews

We’ll be reviewing this code:  [https://github.com/drbobbob/espRFID/tree/master/espRFID] 

If you have time, skim over it before we meet.

If you write code, you also need to read it. But this is a skill that doesn't come for free when you're learning to code. You will encounter new code bases, review others' code, and troubleshoot code you didn't write. In this webinar, we'll share the insights we've gathered from years of reading code. You'll learn how to focus on what's important, narrow down the problem space, and give valuable feedback. We'll also share some tips for prioritizing when troubleshooting and making it easier for others, including future-you, to read your code.
