Refactoring code and code smells

Code smells are signs that your code works but is poorly structured. Not bugs, just hints that something could be written better. They make code harder to read, change, or maintain. The fix is usually code refactoring.

Code refactoring is the process of restructuring existing computer code without changing its external behavior. Learn how and why in this workshop.

This lesson is oriented around teaching you how to refactor and write clean code in Java. In order to get the most out of this workshop basic programming skills are required.

Preparation

Please bring your own laptop with IntelliJ Community Edition installed and a working Java development environment.
