Dive into Refactoring

Tired of reading countless books about writing good code? We have something different for you today. We proudly present the interactive course on refactoring, which will make you a better programmer.

You will love the course if you have ever felt like this cat here sitting in front of a broken build.

What’s inside?

The refactoring course teaches you about 21 smells of bad code and 66 refactoring techniques to fix them.

Each chapter includes examples in Java, C# and PHP.

The refactoring techniques are illustrated with live examples. These are much easier to follow than static code – and more fun, too!

The course can be downloaded for offline use as an ebook in PDF, EPUB, MOBI formats.

Why is this course better than a thick book about refactoring?

This course is written in simple, accessible language with no academic jargon. Direct and to the point with a minimum of fluff.

It’s optimized for tablet viewing. So go ahead and read it on your couch while sipping some tasty cappuccino.

Interactive elements of the course help to keep you on your toes, unlike ordinary books that lull you to sleep after ten minutes.

Oh and did we mention the live interactive examples? Yes we did, but they’re too cool not to mention again!

Certificate of completion

After finishing the course you'll get an electronic certificate of completion. While it certainly looks awesome on the wall, you could also put it in your CV, increasing your chances during the next job interview.

Example of the certificate. Certificates are issued by Refactoring.Guru.
