By far the most important programming book I ever read was Martin Fowler's "Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code". Way back in 1999 Martin Fowler published Refactoring — Improving the Design of Existing Code. In addition to creating a design and coding it, you can now analyze the design of existing code and improve it. Beck, “Refactoring: improving the design of existing code”, Addison Wesley Longman, 1999, pp.238 – 240. You may or may not have heard the term Refactoring before, but it is a term that sometimes seems to be used loosely in software development, when someone wants to do something to the code. When I first read Refactoring, I believed that tests were a necessary prerequisite before making structural changes to the code. Michael Wooten replied on Mon, 2011/10/31 - 12:29pm.
