Chandrasekaran, Chairman, CSI Chennai Mr. H.R. Mohan, Chairman, IEEE CS Madras Programme ======== 5.30 p.m.: Tea & Fellowship 6.00 p.m.: Presentation 7.30 p.m.: Dinner About the Presentation ================= Solving a jigsaw puzzle can be an invigorating experience! As long as it is restricted to quaint pictures and leisure hours, I suppose. Imagine your plight when the code you are expected to work with resembles a jigsaw puzzle! And you don't have the complete picture since you've not written that code in the first place! Not an enviable position to be in, you'd agree. Step in, code-refactoring - an often neglected coding practice which strives to make application code reader friendly. There are a variety of reasons why we must revisit the code we’ve written. Most times it to add some functionality. Sometimes it is on account of new knowledge acquired, a blog we’d read, the platform was enhanced by the vendor or of course, there’s been a problem! On such occasions, when we find myself groping through the code, iterating up and down the code, glancing through the components to piece together the functionality the code is automating, I intuitively understand that this code could use some correction. This correction is refactoring. That is, at any time the code we work on or review has us thrashing about to make things intelligible, we must consider making corrections so that we understand the code easier than before. Several techniques are available to help us create and maintain clean code. This presentation discusses some of the available techniques. About the Speaker ============== R Jairam Iyer works as a Director of Technology at Infocareer Private Ltd and is a Information technology Consultant.
