Practical Object-Oriented Design - Metz, Sandi

Résumé :
Sandi Metz has distilled a lifetime of conversations and presentations about object-oriented design into a set of Ruby-focused practices for crafting manageable, extensible, and pleasing code. She shows readers how to build new applications that can survive success and repair existing applications that have become impossible to change. Each technique is illustrated with extended examples, all downloadable from the companion Web site, poodr.info.

The first title to focus squarely on object-oriented Ruby application design, Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby will guide students to superior outcomes, whatever your previous Ruby experience. Novice Ruby programmers will find specific rules to live by; intermediate Ruby programmers will find valuable principles they can flexibly interpret and apply; and advanced Ruby programmers will find a common language they can use to lead development and guide their colleagues.

Biographie:

Sandi Metz is a programmer, teacher, author, and sometime consultant. In the past 30+ years she has written innumerable applications and creates practical solutions that produce working software that is easy to change. She has spoken about object-oriented design and refactoring at international Ruby conferences since 2009.
