Features: This book pioneers an in-depth exploration of the connection between refactoring and patterns, two key techniques in software development. It demonstrates that improving existing designs through refactoring often yields better results than using patterns early in the design phase of a new project. The book not only presents an innovative approach to applying patterns and refactoring but also helps readers gain a deeper understanding of refactoring and patterns through practical examples. The book covers 27 refactoring techniques. It is suitable for object-oriented software developers and can also serve as a reference for students and faculty in computer science and software engineering programs at universities.
