This is a fascinating topic. Michael Feathers is an expert consultant with DepthFirst, prior to that he was Member of the Technical Staff at Groupon. Prior to joining Groupon, Michael was the Chief Scientist of Obtiva, and a Senior Consultant with Object Mentor International. Over the years, Michael has spent a great deal of time helping teams after design over time in code bases. Michael is also the author of the book Working Effectively with Legacy Code (Prentice Hall, 2004). en Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:21:24 GMT Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:21:24 GMT Rev9 Re: YOW! 2012: Dave Thomas and Michael Feathers - Breaking the Legacy of Legacy Code I've long enjoyed Michael's book on legacy code - it's wonderful hear his latest thoughts on the subject. Personally I find refactoring legacy C++ code bases to take advantage of C++ 11 goodness to be extremely satisfying, effective and valuable, not to mention plain old fun. Thank you so much C9 team for making this video available!
