In order to make delicious food, you need to develop a palate capable of discerning good and bad. Without good taste, you can't make good food. - Jiro Ono (World’s Best Sushi Chef)

We are going to use some cutting edge training to train your pattern recognition section of your brain to instantly recognize common, reoccurring anti-pattern (smells) in your code.

Then we will learn very specific techniques to start improving on these specific smells.

Once you are trained to see these anti-patterns you’ll recognize them everywhere. Now that you are equipped to handle them your code will start to transform into something beautiful and easy to work with.

Note: this is a code intensive workshop. It is encouraged to bring some of your own code to practice on, but this is not required.
