Refactoring
- Maria Grazia Pia (CERN)
09:00 - 10:30
Room: SR4 Code will never be perfect. Even worse, code always deteriorates! To cope with bad or inflexible code, the source code must or may be refactored once or twice or every day. For this, a small set of methods will be presented than may help developers to embed their daily duties into a formal basis. Further, the transformation of legacy code is discussed based on experiences made upon upgrading geant4.

Good software practice
- Jan Engels (DESY)
11:00 - 12:30
Room: SR4 This course will give an introduction to code source management tools (e.g. subversion and mercurial) and value their use in everyday coding. Further, different aspects of coding style are discussed upon real-life examples. For working effectively with larger scale projects, testing and compilation should be a one-step process during the project build. This talk will also introduce the tools and methods provided by cmake/ctest.
