I have posted two new videos; they are short (4.5 and 6 minutes). I would appreciate it if you would watch these videos once or twice before class tomorrow and come prepared to do a refactoring exercise.
I will give you a piece of code tomorrow (or perhaps earlier via email). I will then ask you, with a partner, to identify parts of the code that could be extracted into separate methods—a process like that depicted in the videos. Then, we'll write some tests for those methods, and call it a day.
Energy was a bit down on Monday. I still have no voice, so I'm putting together this activity as a way to push you into exploring the material vs. me talking about it. So, show up caffeinated (if that's what you do) and be ready to reorganize, improve, and talk about some code.
Note: if you don't know what refactoring is, you should read the Wikipedia entry on it at the least.
