This course uses set of java code examples and goes into much details while explaining the concepts along the way. Problem with this approach is for someone not knowing much of java, it creates hindrance as we cannot relate to some parts. I was able to follow some concepts but overall I am not sure how I will be using these concepts fully on the projects and tech(mostly ETL) I work on. If you are into java development, then this should not be an issue for you. The course spends more time on the code than on explaining the theory behind.

Course details
Refactoring code is a key responsibility of software developers. It helps you develop quality code—the foundation you need to react quickly to change, add new features, and ship high-performance products. This course teaches the basics of refactoring, tailored for agile development. Instructor Richard Kasperowski helps you set up a test-driven development environment and walks through basic refactoring techniques: the rename variable, extract, and inline methods. In chapter two, he explains how to stabilize legacy code with outstanding technical debt—inefficiencies and errors introduced as the result of careless programming. Then he uses refactoring to simplify code, remove duplication, and build more reusable objects. Finally, he shows how refactoring complements an agile workflow, by demonstrating how to quickly add a new feature to the simplified codebase.
