Messy code is a nuisance. "Tidying" code, to make it more readable, requires breaking it up into manageable sections. In this practical guide, author Kent Beck, creator of Extreme Programming and pioneer of software patterns, suggests when and where you might apply tidyings to improve your code while keeping the overall structure of the system in mind.
Instead of trying to master tidying all at once, this book lets you try out a few examples that make sense for your problem. If you have a big function containing many lines of code, you'll learn how to logically divide it into smaller chunks. Along the way, you'll learn the theory behind software design: coupling, cohesion, discounted cash flows, and optionality.

Chapters on on cohesion and Constantine's equivalence (chapters 29-31) have good ideas, the rest is a waste of time.
Great insights. At the same time, most of its content is nothing "totally new", but the reminders are always worthy as well as a few wisdom pearls.
Too short for the price, I would say, but I decided to approach it as a collaboration for all the amazing content shared by Kent Beck during the last years for free. I think it's totally worthy.
Only a little bit surprised by not reading a more elaborated description of the "connascence" concept, I think it brings a lot of clarity to the traditional "coupling" term.
