No idea why people keep recommending Refactoring. It is super outdated showing low-level refactoring techniques in a 20 year old version of Java. If your IDE doesn't already have all these techniques built-in then you should get a new IDE.
- Jtsummers 4y agoIt was updated in 2018. It does not use Java anymore and now uses Javascript.
- disgruntledphd2 4y agoAnd despite never having written a line of javascript, I've found it tremendously useful.
- lastofus 4y agoThe 2nd edition is much more recent (2018), and re-written with examples in modern(ish) Javascript. Even if what you say about IDEs is true (which I don't think it is), it's still instructional to know the "why" of a refactor, and when to apply it. Perhaps it's too basic for you personally, but there's much wisdom Fowler is passing on to the world here.
- abledon 4y agoI finally got around to it, as my whole team kept raving about it.... turns out its basically leetcode for you if you woke up in a nightmare and were the inanimate "refactor" tool in VisualStudio/Jetbrains.
- danwee 4y agoIt's literally the worst (tech) book I have ever read.
