This is a very broad but shallow look at refactoring. cbrink http://www.christianbrink.com/users/cbrink http://www.christianbrink.com/articles/1 Commented code != self-documented code 2009-03-30T20:42:27Z I just finished reading <em>Refactoring - Improving the design of existing code</em> by Martin Fowler. And it amazed me how much of it mirrors my experiences and my methods for refactoring. Both of us sync on all the same major points. I do have some minor issues with it but overall it's been great read. I think it speaks highly to the veracity of refactoring, as an integral way of improving code, that the same conclusions are continually reached independently. I highly recommend reading this book cbrink http://www.christianbrink.com/users/cbrink
