Refactor Javascript

We live in a vibrant and ever changing world, and this demands that our code reflects that, the code we write and work with should be easy to read, understand and change! The main motivation behind this course is exactly that, identify and analyse best practices and general good rules of thumb that helps developers to write excepcional Javascript code.

This course takes you on a journey to find the common mistakes the best practices and the right tools to keep you consistently writing the best code you can without affecting the delivery.

In this journey we will provide you with examples of the best practices, but, more importantly, we will discuss ways of thinking and considerations that will help you in the future to turn bad code into good code, regardless of the programming language or framework you use.

Specifically, you will learn about:

Common issues, known as code smells.

Techniques to refactor already existing code.

Structure Javascript/Node code.

Tools that enforce you to follow the best practices and good rules.

This course does NOT focus on a specific programming style or paradigm (like functional programming or object oriented programming) but instead covers general concepts and techniques that will apply regardless of the paradigm.
