Write code that can adapt to changes.

By applying this book’s principles,
you can create code that accommodates new requirements and
unforeseen scenarios without significant rewrites. Gary McLean Hall
describes Agile best practices, principles, and patterns for
designing and writing code that can evolve more quickly and easily,
with fewer errors, because it doesn’t impede change.

Now revised, updated, and expanded, Adaptive
Code, Second Edition adds indispensable practical insights on
Kanban, dependency inversion, and creating reusable abstractions.
Drawing on over a decade of Agile consulting and development
experience, McLean Hall has updated his best-seller with deeper
coverage of unit testing, refactoring, pure dependency injection,
and more.

Master powerful new ways to:

• Write code that enables and
complements Scrum, Kanban, or any other Agile framework

• Develop code that can survive major
changes in requirements

• Plan for adaptability by using
dependencies, layering, interfaces, and design patterns

• Perform unit testing and refactoring
in tandem, gaining more value from both

• Use the “golden master”
technique to make legacy code adaptive

• Build SOLID code with
single-responsibility, open/closed, and Liskov substitution
principles

• Create smaller interfaces to support
more-diverse client and architectural needs

• Leverage dependency injection best
practices to improve code adaptability

• Apply dependency inversion with the
Stairway pattern, and avoid related anti-patterns
