Résumé

Prefactoring approaches software development of new systems using lessons learned from many developers over the years. It is a compendium of ideas gained from retrospectives on what went right and what went wrong in development. Some of these ideas came from experience in refactoring. Refactoring is improving the design of existing code to make it simpler and easier to maintain.

This practical, thought-provoking guide details prefactoring guidelines in design, code, and testing. These guidelines can help you create more readable and maintainable code in your next project.

To help communicate the many facets of this approach, Prefactoring follows the development of a software system for a fictitious client, named Sam, from vision through implementation. Some of the guidelines you'll encounter along the way include:

When You're Abstract, Be Abstract All the Way
Splitters Can Be Lumped Easier Than Lumpers Can Be Split
Do a Little Job Well and You May Be Called Upon Often
Plan Globally, Develop Locally
Communicate with Your Code
The Easiest Code to Debug Is That Which is Not Written
Use the Client's Language
Don't Let the Cold Air In
Never Be Silent
Don't Speed Until You Know Where You Are Going

L'auteur - Ken Pugh

Ken Pugh has worked on software and hardware projects for over thirty years, from requirements gathering through testing and maintenance. He has a wide variety of experience with numerous operating systems, languages, and development processes. He has developed software systems extending from long-baseline interferometry to real-time goat serum process control, and embedded systems for signal processing to networked file storage.

As a teacher and mentor, he has trained thousands of students in subjects ranging from object-oriented design to UNIX operating system internals. He has presented at numerous conferences seminars on software development processes, programming techniques, and system architecture. Ken has written four books on programming and operating systems.
