Description
Tidy First? A Personal Exercise in Empirical Software Design by Kent Beck and Larry L. Constantine is a practical guide to improving your code's readability without compromising its overall structure. This book offers a hands-on approach, starting with small, manageable examples that help you apply tidyings to specific problems. You'll learn how to logically divide large functions into smaller chunks, explore the theory behind software design, and make large changes in safe steps. By working through this exercise, you'll gain a deeper understanding of software design principles, including coupling, cohesion, discounted cash flows, and optionality.
