SUMMARY:OrlandoJUG - Refactoring with Neal Ford
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a great talk on Refactoring with Neal Ford. Re
 factoring is a fine academic exercise in the perfect world, but we don
 't really live there. Even with the best intentions, projects build up
  technical debt and crufty bad things. This session covers refactoring
  in the real world, at both the atomic level (how to refactor towards 
 composed method and at the single level of abstraction principle) to l
 arger project strategies for multi-day refactoring efforts. This talk 
 provides practical strategies for real projects to effectively refacto
 r your code.\n\nNeal is Software Architect and Meme Wrangler at Though
 tWorks, a global IT consultancy with an exclusive focus on end-to-end 
 software development and delivery.\nBefore joining ThoughtWorks, Neal 
 was the Chief Technology Officer at The DSW Group, Ltd., a nationally 
 recognized training and development firm. Neal has a degree in Compute
 r Science from Georgia State University specializing in languages and 
 compilers and a minor in mathematics specializing in statistical analy
 sis.\n\nHe is also the designer and developer of applications, instruc
 tional materials, magazine articles, video presentations, and author o
 f 6 books, including the most recent The Productive Programmer. His la
 nguage proficiencies include Java, C#/.NET, Ruby, Groovy, functional l
 anguages, Scheme, Object Pascal, C++, and C. His primary consulting fo
 cus is the design and construction of large-scale enterprise applicati
 ons. Neal has taught on-site classes nationally and internationally to
