DESCRIPTION
Five Lines of Code is a fresh look at refactoring for developers of all skill levels. In it, you’ll master author Christian Clausen’s innovative approach, learning concrete rules to get any method down to five lines—or less! You’ll learn when to refactor, specific refactoring patterns that apply to most common problems, and characteristics of code that should be deleted altogether.
You will learn:
• The signs of bad code
• Improving code safely, even when you don’t understand it
• Balancing optimization and code generality
• Proper compiler practices
• The Extract method, Introducing Strategy pattern, and many other refactoring patterns
• Writing stable code that enables change-by-addition
• Writing code that needs no comments
• Real-world practices for great refactoring
* Book description: © Manning
