Messy code is a nuisance. "Tidying" code, to make it more readable,
requires breaking it up into manageable sections. In this practical
guide, author Kent Beck, creator of Extreme Programming and pioneer
of software patterns, suggests when and where you might apply
tidyings to improve your code while keeping the overall structure
of the system in mind. Instead of trying to master tidying all at
once, this book lets you try out a few examples that make sense for
your problem. If you have a big function containing many lines of
code, you'll learn how to logically divide it into smaller chunks.
Along the way, you'll learn the theory behind software design:
coupling, cohesion, discounted cash flows, and optionality. This
book helps you: Understand the basic theory of how software design
works and the forces that act on it Explore the difference between
changes to a system's behavior and changes to its structure Improve
your programming experience by sometimes tidying first and
sometimes tidying after Learn how to make large changes in small,
safe steps Approach design as a human activity with diverging
incentives
