How to Read Code
To improve as a developer, you must focus on three things: learning, reading, and writing. Or, in other words, learn from somebody more seasoned than you; read a lot of code; and write your own code daily. This series will focus on the reading component. Together, we'll mentally parse an open source project. How was it constructed? What are the routing conventions? How are the controllers structured?
