About Refactoring, write awesome code
SourceMaking's Refactoring section is a comprehensive online resource that catalogs common code smells (bad programming practices) and provides detailed refactoring techniques to improve code structure. It categorizes smells into groups such as Bloaters, Object-Orientation Abusers, Change Preventers, Dispensables, and Couplers. For each smell, it explains the problem and suggests solutions. Similarly, refactoring techniques are organized into groups covering composing methods, moving features between objects, organizing data, simplifying conditional expressions, and simplifying method calls. This resource serves as a practical reference for developers aiming to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
