About this title

Synopsis

You know good software when you see it, but how do you explain what good software is? Experienced software developers have pet practices and techniques that make their software easier to test, maintain and understand. But when you ask them how to make your software like theirs, they give you a seemingly endless list of rules. How can they remember all those rules? The secret is that they don't! Instead, experienced software developers understand a handful of basic principles. The rules are merely manifestations of these basic principles. But, principles are hard to explain; so experienced developers resort to explaining rules instead. In Principle-Based Refactoring, Halladay explains a set of software refactoring rules and links the refactoring rules back to the basic principles that drive robust software design. The book identifies eight fundamental design principles and also includes a set of approximately fifty refactoring rules that illustrate the principles. Each rule has a summary description, a discussion, including references back to the driving principles, and examples of the rules' applications. In addition, this book discusses refactoring mechanics including test strategies that guide software developers in verifying the quality of refactored code.

Shipping Terms

Heavy books sent internationally at no extra cost:

Postage prices for worldwide shipping are as shown, mostly the extra postage for heavy books or sets is built into the price, so we will not ask for extra payment unless our actual shipping cost proves to be exceptionally high for a specific location.

Everything sent by Airmail:

All INTERNATIONAL orders are sent by Royal Mail Priority Airmail. If you select the faster shipping option it just means we know you're in a hurry and we will do our best to speed things up. We normally batch our international shipments once per week to give you the cheapest possible access to airmail. Generally airmail takes 5-7 business days, longer for some countries, and this is once we have entered your package into the system, so overall up to 10-15 business days, possibly longer for some destinations.
