Code used to demonstrate in a workshop how clean code principles can be applied to existing legacy code.

This workshop is organized into two folders start and finish.

Start folder has working files in original state

Finish folder has files after the refactoring is done. The finish folder shall be used to check the final results of the refactoring as model state for verification.

The learner shall start in the start folder and open the project inside the start folder in an IDE like IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse.

The project is a maven project and can be imported directly in any IDE. The README file in the start folder project details all the observations and the activities of the refactoring to be done to files.

After every activity learner is supposed to run the test cases and verify nothing is broken while doing the refactoring mentioned in the activities of the README file.

The commits in this repositoy are done after performing every listed activity in the README file and they can be studied by opening in any git visualization like gitk or Git UI apps.

The commits can also be checked out one by one using the commit hashes to study what changes were made to files in every activity.

Clean Coders Episode 3 has the detailed explanation of how to refactor the classes in this project into clean code.

Original source for this project is available at Uncle Bob's videostore repository.

This repository is also created using the concept of the first chapter of Martin Fowler's classic book: Refactoring.
