Refactoring with a View - Nathan Davis Olds (https://twitter.com/natedavisolds)

Refactoring with a View tells the story of how a typical view template can be transformed into maintainable code (code that is readable and easy to change). We will see a ton of code during this presentation. But the talk isn't really about this specific code. Rather, it is about how to decide what code needs to be changed. While the presentation introduces the process I used to determine what changes to make as I dramatically refactored a particular view template, it is my hope that the process itself will change the way programmers approach their own refactorings in the future.
