This is session, full of code drive to demonstrate refactoring
techniques mostly influenced by Michael Feathers in his book, “Working
Effectively with Legacy Code”. The session will be lively by mean of
audience interaction while demonstrating how to approach this
refactoring for practical scenarios. Session will start with
discussion on the topic of dependency and will go towards the
direction of how to break those dependencies and introduce testing
harness for any legacy code.

**This is a technically oriented session**

We ask that you bring a laptop capable of running Microsoft Visual
Studio Express 2008 or Visual Studio 2008.. (More details on where to
download will follow closer to the class date, emailed to attendees.)
You should also be familiar with C#, .NET or be comfortable enough
with programming to work in pairs or groups with those who are
familiar with .NET syntax.

Productivity plug in Resharper, although not required, is highly
recommended to have. 30 day tirl version of Resharper 4.5 can be found
at http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/download/

This is our first class that is more focused on the technical side.
