3206 C++Builder X Refactoring Techniques: The Key to Well Designed App. Dev.
Charlie Calvert — Falafel Software, Inc.

Type: Regular Session. Level: Intermediate.
Now that object-oriented programming has become the norm for most developers, the next step is learning how to properly architect your applications. Experience has shown that the best architectures often emerge from a process of iterative development. The best applications are not simply made, they are grown. Learn how to use the principles of refactoring to allow your application to evolve on top of a robust code base that supports the best object-oriented practices. Following techniques outlined by authors like Kent Beck and Martin Fowler, learn how to develop classes that are easy to reuse and maintain. Also, learn to recoqnize classic bad practices and how to use refactoring to morph poorly designed code into robust, reusable classes that are easy to maintain.
Prerequisites: C++ development experience.
