Refactoring to Patterns: sign up for the new online Workshop!
Ivan Design Patterns are common solutions to similar groups of issues. They’ve proved to be useful and helpful due to their reusability and effectiveness.
Software Design Patterns were described for the first time in 1994 in book “Design Patterns : Elements of Reusable Software Architecture”. After many years one of the book’s authors – Ralph Johnson – during his talk “21 years of Design Patterns” said “We could have done better, but I think we’ve done pretty well”.
Fortunately the need to make use of design patterns is not visible at the beginning of software development. This way we can avoid over engineering and clean the design by applying design patterns when it is really required. Design patterns pays off only behind some level of complexity.
When the codebase grows we begin to miss some design pattern and think “if I only had a strategy / state / chain here instead of nested if-else statements…”. These thoughts motivate us to perform refactoring into design patterns at the correct time – not too early and not too late.
This workshop is a continuation of “Refactoring to Clean Code / Effective Refactoring” training and is based on an assumption that attendees can perform some initial clean-up of codebase. Such a clean-up allows us to notice emerging design patterns out of the mess of legacy code.
Refactoring to Patterns: a workshop by Włodek Krakowski
We’ve a new exciting online course coming up at Apium Academy. Next September 8th, Włodek Krakowski, an independent technical trainer specializing in maintaining code clean through refactoring techniques. His main interest is taking care of delivering valued software from different perspectives, is giving a Refactoring to Patterns Workshop.
During this online workshop students will make code architecture more extendable, readable, testable by applying design patterns trough practice live refactoring towards design patterns, learn about chosen design patterns, understand how their software development process influences on technical debt and come up with ideas about adjustments to work organization to achieve cleaner code design.
New online format: a practical approach
We always listen to our students feedback so we can keep improving. One of the most recurrent wishes from our students due to COVID-19 situation, is to offer online practical workshops.
So, the workshop will consist of a total of 5 sessions of 2 hours each. It will be a workshop with practical exercises focused on applying the acquired knowledge. With that structure in mind, here’s the resulting course outline:
