Can you even refactor in Javascript? Or Python? | Everyday Coding Expertise

Many developers aren’t even really aware of the power of refactoring to improve design, particularly if they’re using languages like Javascript or Python. Refactoring is such an important everyday design skill for enhancing and extending existing code in any language. In this video I’m going to do the same design transformation in several programming languages including Javascript and Python.

Sorry to hear it’s not going as expected. I’ve been really excited about sharing these videos with my team, since I first found your videos, and I’m going to hold a guided learning hour session with my team for the first time tomorrow.
I hope the videos will keep coming despite.

Love this, thanks for the side-by-side comparison. It helps see what languages/toolings can or can't do for you 😄

0:09 Poor tool support? Do you really NEED tools to refactor?!? It was certainly a lot harder before we had unit tests... but unit tests are a technique not a tool.
I've been refactoring since before it was even called "refactoring" and the only tool I've ever used is a text editor.
