  • Let's get you geared up to tackle legacy code

    Test or else... Legacy, 9th January 2019

    The first step of working with legacy code is realizing the incredible amount of value that has dropped in your lap. In this talk, we are going to pinpoint that value. And move that value in a better to maintain and understand codebase. First, we will cover the general mentality that will make it easier to prepare a plan of attack. Next up are more technical tips that will make it easier to talk about the code. We will end off the session by actually porting a small piece of code.
