Messy code is a nuisance. "Tidying" code, to make it more readable, requires breaking it up into manageable sections. In this practical guide, author Kent Beck, creator of Extreme Programming and pioneer of software patterns, suggests when and where you might apply tidyings to improve your code while keeping the overall structure of the system in mind. Instead of trying to master tidying all at once, this book lets you try out a few examples that make sense for your problem. If you have a big function containing many lines of code, you'll learn how to logically divide it into smaller chunks.

Kent Beck has spent 40 years watching and guiding engineers through their careers. He's made note of what it takes to help engineers stay sharp, stay curious, and keep building for decades. What he's learned is less about any one skill and more about adaptability itself; what it takes to be the kind of person who keeps up. Kent sitting down with geeks in front of a fire to talk about their careers, and what they're still doing to stay adaptable in today's landscape. Real stories, real engineers, real honest.
