Synopsis

With small cleanup steps to more structured software

• Benefit from the coding experience of an outstanding developer: Kent Beck
• With pragmatic mini refactorings for more joy in everyday developer life and better results.
• Treats hardly themed aspects such as the emotional and social situation of developers and the costs of refactorings

Messy code is a nuisance and hard to read. In this handy guide, Kent Beck, creator of Extreme Programming, demonstrates when and how you can perform minor cleanups to optimize your code while improving your system's overall structure.

Instead of overwhelming yourself with too much clean-up at once, Kent Beck shows how to proceed pragmatically. You will learn how to logically divide a function with many lines of code into smaller pieces. And by the way, you understand important aspects of theory such as coupling, cohesion, discounted cash flows, and optionality.

This book supports you:

• Understanding the basic theory of how software design works and what forces act on it.
• assess different effects when changing the behavior of a system and changes to its structure.
• Improve your programming experience by sometimes cleaning up first and sometimes later
• Learn how to make big changes in small, safe steps
• Understand software development as a maintenance of human relationships
