Session Title |
Refuctoring Master Class |
Session Style |
Game/Challenge |
Session Length |
60 mins |
Session Description |
Keith will demonstrate how to refuctor a simple “Hello, World!” program to maximise the billable potential of the code by making it as complex as possible. Participants will then be challenged to do their own refuctorings to the same example to see who can create the least maintainable – but still working and plausible-looking – code. The winner will receive a lifetime’s supply of green comment characters. |
Session requirements (technical) |
Any programmer could participate in any OO language. Automated refactoring tools will prove useful to ensure the code doesn’t break, thus alerting the boss to your refuctoring efforts |

You should certainly add a time limit to each participants try and secondly just count the WTF per minute as the ultimative code quality metric.
Cheers
