Refactoring - Improving the Design of Existing Code

Wed, Nov 1 6:00pm

Presentation Overview:

Refactoring is the art of modifying existing code in a controlled manner. I am sure most of you at some point in time have had the task of modifying poorly written code or applying patches upon patches to existing code, making the code unstable and not easily maintainable. Martin Fowler will show us some of the techniques for taking poorly designed and poorly written code and modify it so that the code is more robust and more maintainable.
