By Steve Smith

Refactoring is a critical developer skill that helps keep code from collapsing under its own weight. This course covers when and how to refactor code, as well as a wide variety of "code smells" that may indicate some refactoring is warranted. The course concludes with a refactoring kata that students can perform on their own to practice their refactoring skills.
