Workshop - Code smells and how to refactor them
Code smells prevent you and your team from keeping a sustainable development pace. They’re not bugs. They don’t cause the program to behave in a wrong way. But they are a risk towards the future. They might result in slowing you and your team down, or might be the source of technical debt and future bugs.
Although code smells are slightly subjective and dependent on language and programming paradigm, there are a few typical code smells that can be easily recognized, and more importantly, easily fixed.
Contents
In this course, you will learn why code smells are bad, how to recognize them, and how to solve them. It’s a hands-on course, where most part of the day you’ll be deep-diving into C# code, trying to find and solve common OO code smells.
Detailed contents:
What are code smells?
Why are code smells bad and why must they be removed?
Refactoring and test-driven development
Common code smells and how to refactor them:
Bloaters (long methods, large classes, long parameter lists, etc.)
Object-Orientation Abusers (switch statements, temporary fields, bad inheritance, etc.)
Change Preventers (shotgun surgery, divergent changes, parallel inheritance trees)
Dispensables (unnecessary comments, duplication, shallow classes or functions, dead code, etc.)
Couplers (tight coupling, trainwrecks, etc.)
For who
This course is for all programmers who write software on a regular basis, mostly in OO languages like C#, C++ or Java.
Required knowledge
Basic knowledge of C# is required as the exercises will be in C#. If you’re unfamiliar with C#, you can prepare with some basic exercises on an online learning platform. For example: exercism.io.
