Legacy Software Maintenance - You didn't build it, but you have to fix it.

by John Eckhardt | at Minnebar 19

Do you roll your eyes when your boss hands you somebody else's code? How about somebody else's code from 10 years ago? How about... Your code from 10 years ago :P

Working with old, messy code is hard. Difficult. Frustrating. Confusing. But it doesn't have to be!

We'll dive into why it's hard to work with old code, good patterns to use when working with legacy software, and some tips on how to turn a difficult old project into a net positive.

I've been working with other people's code for 15 years. I'll share some horror stories, tips and tricks, and I want to hear the same from you!

John Eckhardt

John Eckhardt started programming before he could read. Ok, maybe he started at age 9, but that's still pretty early! His passion for programming, entrepreneurship and efficiency has led to the founding of Code Pros over 10 years ago to maintain legacy technology. Sometimes it's easier and cheaper to keep an old program going...

John's enjoying the intersection of technology, process, business and efficiency. And shredding organ solos on his keyboard.
