Summary

For example, in this chapter we went from bad procedural code to a cleaner object-oriented implementation—while staying close to the green bar and without a large-scale rewrite. When you write your code, we expect you will refactor as you discover the need for it (not when it’s too late and the code is so messed-up that it is more appealing just to throw it away and write it anew).
