4. REFACTORING FOR SOFTWARE DESIGN SMELLS
➤ Awareness of design smells - indicators of common design problems - helps
developers or software engineers understand mistakes made while designing and
apply design principles for creating high-quality designs. This talk provides insights
gained from performing refactoring in real-world projects to improve refactoring and
reduce the time and costs of managing software projects. The talk also presents
insightful anecdotes and case studies drawn from the trenches of real-world projects.
By attending this talk, you will know pragmatic techniques for refactoring design
smells to manage technical debt and to create and maintain high-quality software in
practice.
➤ Duration: 60 minutes (1 hour)
➤ Contents overview:
➤ Why care about design principles, design quality, or design smells?
➤ Refactoring as the primary means for repaying technical debt
➤ Smells that violate abstraction, encapsulation, modularisation, or hierarchy
➤ Tools and techniques for refactoring

5. APPLYING ‘SOLID PRINCIPLES’ & ‘DESIGN PATTERNS’ IN PRACTICE
➤ How to develop high quality software? What are the key/fundamental principles for
software design? What is the relationship between principles and design patterns?
Based on 3 years of research on applying software design principles, this talk shares
key insights on developing high-quality software in industrial contexts. By
attending this session, you’ll get a clear understanding of the key role that design
principles and patterns play in developing software in practice. So, don’t miss it!
➤ Duration: 60 minutes (1 hour)
➤ Contents overview:
➤ Why care about SOLID principles or design patterns?
➤ Design principles as application of design principles!
➤ What exactly is the relationship between principles, smells, refactoring, and
patterns?

practice (in day-to-day work)?

6. LEGACY TO MODERN JAVA: REFACTORING TO JAVA 8
➤ The Java 8 release has some of the most important feature additions to the Java language and
the library. Key features added in Java 8 include lambda functions, stream API and date and
time API. The main benefit of Java 8 features is productive programming: getting work done
more efficiently and effectively. This session introduces all the important concepts and
features important for leveraging Java 8 features for regular work and improve productivity.
Special feature: Live demo of refactoring open source legacy code base to show how lambdas
and streams can result in shorter and effective code.
➤ Duration: 1 hour (including Q & A)
➤ Target audience: Developers (especially Java developers) interested in functional
programming
➤ Contents overview:
➤ Introduction to lambdas and streams API
➤ Refactoring to lambda functions and functional interfaces
➤ Into the rapids: Refactoring loops to streams API
➤ Live demo: Refactoring legacy code to modern Java 8 code
➤ Wrap-up and Q & A
