What you'll learn

Businesses increasingly depend on quality Azure applications for critical systems. In this course, Microsoft Azure Developer: Refactoring Code, you will learn that building quality Azure apps requires understanding the principles of software quality and how to recognize "code smells" that indicate potential quality problems. First, you will learn that, when left unchecked, poor quality can accumulate in an app, making it more and more expensive and risky to maintain, until eventually it must be replaced. Next, you will explore the fundamentals of refactoring Azure apps, from principles to recognizing poor quality, to applying concrete approaches, to common problems. Finally, you'll discover how to write better code, faster, so your apps will have fewer defects and will last longer. By the end of this course, you'll know how to refactor code, without starting from scratch.
