Refactoring Well: Naming as a Process (4 wk Public Class)

Deep Roots: Refactoring with Depth

Can you trust names? How many hours do you lose just reading code? Change all of that with Arlo Belshee's Naming as a Process (NaaP)!

<p>You can refactor with less risk  if you can:</p><ul><li>Trust the names in your team’s code.</li><li>Spend less time coming up with names.</li><li>Waste less time hunting for experts on code you don’t understand.</li><li>Read less code to understand each story.</li></ul><p>Learning this module gets you <strong>all of those</strong>. </p><h3>Are you ready to finish stories faster and reduce the impact of interruptions?</h3><p>Join Arlo Belshee as he walks you through the first two major aspects of his <strong>Naming as a Process</strong> outlined in the image below: <em>Getting Obvious Nonsense</em> and<em> Find What It Does</em>. </p>

<h3> So what exactly changes in your day-to-day practice?</h3><ul><li>Week 1 Practice: You use names that are brutally honest about what you know and what you don’t.</li><li>Week 2 Practice:  You rename bad names to applesauce before you take any time to try to understand the code.</li><li>Week 3 Practice: You search for one fact and add it to the “known facts list” section of an honest name. Repeat until you know enough for the current story.</li><li>Week 4 Practice: You add one more specific question to the “open questions list” section of the honest name, possibly removing a more general question.</li></ul><p>Next question, why would you pay for this when we just told me what practices to do and I can read it at in our <a href="https://bit.ly/namingasprocess" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">NaaP publication</a>? </p><p><strong>Because we experience long term change by intentional practice with others. </strong>Also, we both know all the nuance that happens in practice! No article or video can address those.</p><p>Taking this class gives you:</p><ul><li>Arlo's demonstration of the practice on Mondays</li><li>Arlo's coaching related to the practice on Wednesdays</li><li>Arlo's reflection facilitation of the practice on Fridays</li><li>Arlo's continual support on Slack channel</li><li>Weekly practice challenges that will bring up more questions</li><li>Additional video tutorials under 10m that are ALSO thorough</li><li><strong>and ... concrete ways to bring it back to your team!</strong></li></ul><p></p>

<p>As a bonus to simply learning the material and reaping the results, this public class is also 1 out of 4 modules that certifies you as a <a href="https://www.digdeeproots.com/developer-advancement-program/validated-software-mender/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><strong>Validated Software Mender I</strong></a>.</p><p>Your name and email is maintained for Module 2 of this certificate, so you can build towards the certification if you choose to take other modules in the future.</p>

<h2>&quot;Previous refactoring kept going deeper and deeper down a rabbit hole, trying to understand before I change anything. Now it just flows.&quot;</h2><p></p><h3><strong><em>&quot;This is teaching me such a general skill. I apply it every day, in every language.&quot;</em></strong></h3><h3></h3><h1>&quot;Every software developer should learn this.&quot;</h1><h3></h3>
