+I usually want to start with the first example of the book but happens that
+I have to
+create the project, copy and paste the sample code and write a solid set of

+So if you want to start right away with the first sample of the book,

+
+Tip
+When you find you have to add a feature to a program, and the program's code is
+not structured in a convenient way to add the feature, first refactor the program
+to make it easy to add the feature, then add the feature.
+

+Before you start refactoring, check that you have a solid suite of tests.
+These tests must be self-checking. It is essential for refactoring that you have
+good tests, the test give you the security you need to change the program.
