Location: TrailBlazers B.V.

**Code smells & refactoring, by example**

In this live coding demo, you will learn how code smells and refactoring provide you a vocabulary for making explicit what’s up with your code and how to improve the code in small, controlled steps, while keeping the code working all the time. Delivering value and making improvements are not contradictory - on the contrary ;-). Marc, Willem and Rob will show you how, using the Gilded Rose kata.

Free dinner is served beforehand and some drinks after the talk.

So join us and let us know you're coming so we can tune the catering to the number of participants.

Agenda:
17:30 - Walk-in
18:00 - Diner
19:00 - Start of the kata
20:30 - Drinks
21:00 - End.
