The Art of Refactoring - Agile Singapore Conference 2016
Speaker: Joshua Kerievsky (@JoshuaKerievsky), CEO @ Industrial Logic Inc.
Code that is difficult to understand, hard to modify and challenging to extend is hazardous to developers, users and organizations. Refactoring, or improving the design of existing code, is one of our greatest defenses against such code. In this talk, I’ll discuss the value of refactoring, how we practice it safely, when and why we refactor, the power of refactoring tools and when we avoid refactoring. I’ll be using several real-world examples of refactoring and sharing what I’ve learned about this important practice of the last 20 years.
