« UCNUG Presentation on Refactoring | Main | Always Check Your References »

I had the distinct privilege of presenting on Refactoring at the Utah County .NET User Group tonight.  We had a great turnout and I'm fairly pleased with the presentation as a whole - I feel it went quite smoothly.  In past months the group had met at UVSC, but they're now in the process of moving to another location: NuSkin in Provo.  We met at their office off of EastBay.

The atmosphere was fantastic and there was great feedback and I believe that it worked out being beneficial for all in attendance (myself included).

I gleaned some talking points from an MSDN WebCast on Refactoring (as well as some demonstrations), but I believe it was all for the better.  Additionally, I used the Movie Rentals example from Martin Fowler's book to drive home the points made throughout the talk.

I've made the files (the PPT, the 'before refactoring' code, and 'after refactoring' code) available for download if you'd like to play with them.

Thanks to all that attended and for your feedback.  I look forward to the next time I have the opportunity!
