Course Description

Do you want to improve your coding skills?
The main tool great software developers use is code refactoring. In this course I will introduce you to the concept of this powerful practice.
If you have a beginner or intermediate level knowledge or even if you have great experience writing code this course would be helpful to you.

During this course you will learn the following:

Get familiar with the main types of code smells. Learn to find them in the code
You can optimize your code, make it clearer, more logical and readable
Learn about the most popular refactorings, get acquainted with their mechanics
Learn how to step-by-step apply refactorings in your code

Basic Code Smells

complex expressions and computations
multiple assignments to a temp variable
magic literals in code
hard to understand conditions
nested if statements logic
long method parameter lists
complex method bodies
classes with mixed responsibilities

What is Refactoring
Code refactoring is the process of changing your existing code so that it becomes more readable and easy to modify in future.
But these changes should preserve the existing functionality. Code refactoring is a continuous process and it is done in small incremental steps.

If done poorly it may change functionality or introduce new bugs.

As a result, we have gained vast experience in building desktop applications, mobile applications, web services, network software, and games.

We have decided that now is the right moment to share our knowledge and experience with you, to help overcome difficulties in software development and give you an opportunity to improve your skills and do your daily programming job with joy.

Our courses might be helpful not only for beginners, who just started to learn software development but also to intermediate and advanced level developers.

There is no unnecessary information in our lectures, which often added to increase course volume. We understand that you want to save your time and learn quick and start applying your knowledge in practice as fast as possible, so we focus on providing essential information and share knowledge which we use ourselves in our daily work.

Voice is not very easy to understand

By Soulaiman Ghriach

Best Kurs for Refactoring.

By Nir

Too short lectures. Very basic.

By Nikunj Patel

Ya, the course is quite what the topic says. Examples are fine but not great and not ample! Expected at least more than 1 example per video.

By Piotr Bułka

First few examples are too basic imo, everyone who's got something to do with programming overally should already know them.

The rest of the course is pretty good.

By Hung-Sheng Lin

I am a C# beginner and just begins working on an existing project for adding some new features. The class contents inspire me to do refractor to make code readable as my next step.
