Bonus: Free Chapters from my book, Beyond Legacy Code: Nine Practices to Extend the Life (and Value) of Your Software

 

Beyond Legacy Code: Nine Practices to Extend the Life (and Value) of Your Software is filled with practical, hands-on advice and a common-sense exploration of why technical practices such as refactoring and test-first development are critical to building maintainable software. You’ll discover how to avoid the pitfalls teams encounter when adopting these practices, and how to dramatically reduce the risk associated with building software–realizing significant savings in both the short and long term. With a deeper understanding of the principles behind the practices, you’ll build software that’s easier and less costly to maintain and extend.

Beyond Legacy Code: Nine Practices to Extend the Life (and Value) of Your Software is available from Amazon, Pragmatic Bookshelf, and other fine booksellers
