Professional Refactoring in Visual Basic
Professional Refactoring in Visual Basic In this one-of-a-kind book, Microsoft MVP Danijel Arsenovski shows you how to utilize the power of refactoring to improve the design of your existing code and become more efficient and productive. He provides you with a hands-on approach so you´ll quickly learn how to manage and modify your code with refactoring tools and features. You´ll also discover how to perform unit testing, refactoring to patterns, and refactoring to upgrade legacy Visual Basic code. As you progress through the chapters, you´ll build a prototype application from scratch. You´ll then utilize refactoring techniques to transform the code into a properly designed, enterprise-level application. Arsenovski walks you step-by-step through each process while offering expert coding tips. You´ll then be able to apply this information to real situations that arise as a result of company expansion, policy changes, or similar business decisions. What you will learn from this book * The steps involved in assembling a refactoring toolkit * How to activate explicit and strict compiler options * Effective strategies for error handling * How to eliminate dead code, reduce scope, and remove unused references * Method consolidation and extraction techniques * Advanced object-oriented concepts and related refactorings * How to organize code for large-scale projects * Tips for taking advantage of LINQ and other VB 2008 enhancements * Core refactorings and basic code smells * How to use the free Refactor! add-in for Visual Basic * Visual Basic-specific refactorings and smells Who this book is for This book is for intermediate to expert programmers, developers, or . NET software architects who are familiar with basic object-oriented concepts, Visual Basic, and the Visual Studio environment. Wrox Professional guides are planned and written by working programmers to meet the real-world needs of programmers, developers, and IT professionals. Focused and relevant, they address the issues technology professionals face every day.

xUnit Test Patterns
"A comprehensive reference to more than 120 testing patterns is included, and Meszaros illuminates the principles underlying each pattern, offering step-by-step usage instructions. You´ll find high-level strategy patterns, design-level patterns for testing specific functionality, and coding idioms for optimizing specific tests. In addition, an extensive library of relevant code samples is available online. The topics covered include: Writing better tests - and writing them faster; Software testing phases: fixture setup, exercise SUT, result verification, and fixture teardown; Testing business logic, databases, user interfaces, and machine-to-machine interfaces; Isolating software to test it independently from its environment; Refactoring tests for greater simplicity; Working effectively with XUnit, NUnit, JUnit, and other implementations; Designing software for greater testability; This book will benefit developers, managers, and testers working with any agile or conventional development process, any testing framework, and any testing strategy - from "tests as specification" to "tests as safety net".

Seminar

Refactoring Databases
"You´ll master every task involved in refactoring database schemas, and discover best practices for deploying refactorings in even the most complex production environments. The second half of this book systematically covers five major categories of database refactorings. You´ll learn how to use refactoring to enhance database structure, data quality, and referential integrity; and how to refactor both architectures and methods. The book provides an extensive set of examples, built with Oracle and Java, and easily adaptable for other languages, such as, C#, C++, or VB. NET. Using this book´s techniques and examples, you can reduce waste, rework, risk, and cost - and build database systems capable of evolving smoothly, far into the future. "

Seminar

Refactoring
Refactoring ist eine Methode, bereits geschriebene Software im Entwurf zu verbessern, ohne ihr Verhalten zu ändern. Das Buch beschreibt die Prinzipien des Refactorings anschaulich anhand eines einführenden Beispiels. Danach wird in Form eines Katalogs auf ca. 70 getestete Refactorings eingegangen. Der Code ist in Java geschrieben, die zugrunde liegenden Prinzipien sind auf alle objektorientierten Sprachen übertragbar. Deutsche Übersetzung von Prof. Dr. Bernd Kahlbrandt.
