Most developers know enough about refactoring to write code that’s pretty good. They create short methods, and classes with one responsibility. They’re also familiar with a good handful of refactorings, and the code smells that motivate them.
This talk is about the next level of knowledge: the things advanced developers know that let them turn good code into great. Code that’s easy to read and a breeze to change. These topics will be covered solely by LIVE CODING; no slides. We’ll boldly refactor right on stage, and pray the tests stay green. You might even learn some vim tricks as well as an expert user shows you his workflow.
