Five Lines of Code
How and when to refactor
Book Description
Improving existing code - refactoring - is one of the most common tasks you'll face as a programmer. Five Lines of Code teaches you clear and actionable refactoring rules that you can apply without relying on intuitive judgements such as "code smells." Following the author's expert perspective - that refactoring and code smells can be learned by following a concrete set of principles - you'll learn when to refactor your code, what patterns to apply to what problem, and the code characteristics that indicate it's time for a rework.
Every codebase includes mistakes and inefficiencies that you need to find and fix. Refactor the right way, and your code becomes elegant, easy to read, and easy to maintain. In this book, you'll learn a unique approach to refactoring that implements any method in five lines or fewer. You'll also discover a secret most senior devs know: sometimes it's quicker to hammer out code and fix it later!
Five Lines of Code is a fresh look at refactoring for developers of all skill levels. In it, you'll master author Christian Clausen's innovative approach, learning concrete rules to get any method down to five lines - or less! You'll learn when to refactor, specific refactoring patterns that apply to most common problems, and characteristics of code that should be deleted altogether.
