Refactoring

Books and Resources

• Book: Martin Fowler's Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code
• Refactoring.com
  • Online catalog of refactorings
• Provable Refactorings:
  • A collection of refactoring recipes that are provably safe. Each recipe is language-specific and rests on the rules of that language. Within that language, each will either terminate with a clear failure or will complete in a way that guarantees no change in behavior.
