"Given its practical orientation and the variety of real-world examples offered throughout the book, this is a must-have for any practicing software engineer, developer, software architect, or anyone else interested in software design."--Computing Reviews"... a delightful, engaging, actionable read... you have in your hand a veritable field guide of smells... one of the more interesting and complex expositions of software smells you will ever find... The concept of technical debt is central to understanding the forces that weigh upon systems, for it often explains where and how and why a system is stressed. What delights me about this present book is its focus on technical debt and refactoring as the actionable means to attend to it." --From the foreword by Grady Booch, IBM Fellow and Chief Scientist for Software Engineering, IBM Research"Evolving software inevitably accumulates technical debt, making maintenance increasingly painful and expensive. The authors, based on their extensive experience, categorize the major design problems (smells) that come up in software, and lucidly explain how these can be solved with appropriate refactoring." --Diomidis Spinellis, Author of “Code Reading” and “Code Quality”, Addison-Wesley Professional"...the book I would have loved to write... Refactoring for Software Design Smells is an excellent book. It is another milestone that professionals will use... I’m sure that you will learn a lot from it and that you will enjoy it." --From the foreword by Stéphane Ducasse, Co-author of Object-Oriented Reengineering Patterns, Morgan Kaufmann
