 Written on November 1, 2006 Summary: Seminal Work The book is critical for beginner developers who want to achieve the next level. The topic is presented as "cleaning up code". In the process; however, it teaches how to move from bad design to good. Written on October 24, 2006 Summary: Refactor afterwards, but design and review first Refactoring, says Fowler in his preface, is improving the structure of the code without changing the behavior at all. His book certainly offers an organized way to do that, with examples and then an entire second half of the book which is a reference of refactoring patterns. I can recommend reading the first half of the book (methods) and then keeping it around as a reference when needed. But as a constant daily method, I think it claims too much. "Improving the design of the code after it has been written," is still difficult, even if you have a book of refactoring patterns. And Fowler rightly makes having a strong unit testing suite a requirement. So I can say: read the book so that if you find yourself doing refactoring, you won't have to reinvent the wheel. But don't get your hopes up that refactoring is a substitute for good design and clear coding, as measured and improved through review by trusted co-workers. Written on October 5, 2006 Summary: Take the special offer above! You know which special offer, the one that let's you buy this book with another for a reduced price. This book needs to be on the bookshelf of every programmer. And it needs to have dog-eared pages, scribbles in the margins, lots of marked passages, etc. When I almost turned to the "dark side" from anger and frustration at cleaning up other programmers crappy code, this book gave me hope and the strength to carry on. It has kept me from turning to the "dark side". If you are considering turning to the "dark side", studying this book will give you hope also. So no one misunderstands me, the "dark side" is...... becoming a manager. :) Written on August 7, 2006 Summary: refactoring a good and clear book for improving your code in small steps. a lot of (not language specific) good examples. Written on July 15, 2006 Summary: Want to know how to be a better software developer? Then read this book - it contains great tips and hints for how to be a better developer by making your code (or someone else's code) more easily maintainable. For example > Remove duplicated code > Write smaller classes "Do one thing and do it well" > Only expose methods that need to be exposed > re-write complicated expressions by introducing temporary variables with names that explain the purpose and so many others. Particularly great for those left maintaining code written by someone else who thought a class containing 2,500 lines of code is fine. |
