Description

This Second Edition expands from 12 to 14 chapters, and all chapters are revised and updated. New coverage includes Kanban for BAU, Domain-Driven Design, Hexagonal Architecture, Test-Driven Development, and Test-First methodology. The Second Edition also includes expanded coverage of unit testing, refactoring, and Pure Dependency Injection.

Gary McLean Hall is a software developer, architect, and consultant with more than a decade of experience optimizing processes and practices in diverse Agile environments. He recently founded Igirisu to provide developer training for TDD, continuous integration, refactoring, design patterns, SOLID principles, and Git source control; cultural coaching towards Agile; and related services. His book, Adaptive Code via C# (Microsoft Press, 2014), has been translated into German, Japanese, and Korean, and won the Society for Technical Communications

Distinguished Award in 2015.

By applying this book’s principles, students can create code that accommodates new requirements and unforeseen scenarios without significant rewrites. Gary McLean Hall describes Agile best practices, principles, and patterns for designing and writing code that can evolve more quickly and easily, with fewer errors, because it doesn’t impede change.

 

Now revised, updated, and expanded, Adaptive Code, Second Edition, adds indispensable practical insights on Kanban, dependency inversion, and creating reusable abstractions. Drawing on more than a decade of Agile consulting and development experience, McLean Hall has updated this edition with deeper coverage of unit testing, refactoring, pure dependency injection, and more.

 

Master powerful new ways to:

• Write code that enables and complements Scrum, Kanban, or any other Agile framework

• Develop code that can survive major changes in requirements

• Plan for adaptability by using dependencies, layering, interfaces, and design patterns

• Perform unit testing and refactoring in tandem, gaining more value from both

• Use the “golden master” technique to make legacy code adaptive

• Build SOLID code with single-responsibility, open/closed, and Liskov substitution principles

• Create smaller interfaces to support more-diverse client and architectural needs

• Leverage dependency injection best practices to improve code adaptability

• Apply dependency inversion with the Stairway pattern, and avoid related anti-patterns
