Dev Code

Dev Code means developers who avoid calling methods directly from a package by using extension methods as a shorthand for package methods.

Sure! Here is a more concise version of your note on the benefits of creating and using extension methods:

Benefits of Extension Methods

  1. Centralized Maintenance: Logic is centralized, making updates simpler. For instance, updating a session handling extension method applies changes across all usages automatically.

  2. Enhanced Code Readability: By adding methods to existing types, code becomes more intuitive and cleaner. For example, using session.Set<T>(key, value) for session handling simplifies the code.

  3. Reusable Code: Extension methods can be used across different parts of an application or multiple projects. For instance, a session management method can be reused anywhere in the application.

  4. Decoupling and Flexibility: These methods separate utility logic from business logic, allowing easy updates without altering core application logic. For example, adapting to changes in a third-party API is straightforward with extension methods.

Summary

Extension methods enhance coding productivity by promoting maintainability, readability, reusability, and flexibility, ensuring utility functions are centralized and consistent across the application.
