Beyond Legacy Code (Pragmatic Bookshelf)
Thursday, 24 September 2015

With the subtitle "Nine Practices to Extend the Life (and Value) of Your Software", David Scott Bernstein presents technical practices such as refactoring and test-first development designed to solve the problems facing the software industry. He discusses how to avoid the pitfalls teams encounter when adopting these practices, and how to dramatically reduce the risk associated with building software. With a deeper understanding of the principles behind the practices, you'll build software that's easier and less costly to maintain and extend.
