Essentials of Java Refactoring
Refactoring in Java is a process aimed at improving the quality and maintainability of code. It involves cultivating good coding habits and recognizing warning signs in the code that suggest the need for refactoring.
Understanding Refactoring Fundamentals
The book provides an understanding of the fundamentals of refactoring, which includes the development of good coding practices and the identification of code issues, often referred to as ‘red flags’.
Exploring Testing and Techniques
It delves into various testing methodologies that are crucial for refactoring, along with essential refactoring techniques. The concept of metaprogramming is also discussed in the context of refactoring.
Designing Robust Architecture
Readers are guided on how to design a good architecture that supports the longevity and scalability of a codebase.
Practical Guidance Through Examples
The book uses real-world examples to clearly explain how to refactor and improve code. It also introduces proven techniques for effective refactoring.
Advanced Refactoring Strategies
In its second part, the book equips readers with strategies to recognize code smells, which are indicators of potential problems in the code. It also covers how to prioritize refactoring tasks and the use of automated refactoring tools.
