Yet another classic. This book is an extensive compilation of refactorings that range from providing meaningful names for variable to collapsing class hierarchies. Every pattern is introduced in three stages – Motivation, Mechanics, and Example. The Motivation section presents the problem that a refactoring is trying to solve. Then the Mechanics section explains how a refactoring should be conducted. When a refactoring is a combination of other refactorings the author provides references to those refactorings so that you can easily find them in the book. The last part provides a step-by-step example of how a refactoring can be applied to existing code.
The book is neatly organized and can be used a reference book for your everyday programming endeavors.
