Lessons from a Rewrite 3.86 http://spkr8.com/t/7930

Description:

In late 2010, Toura Mobile had developed a PhoneGap-based platform for creating content-rich mobile applications, and customers were buying. The problem was that customers were also asking for more and more complex features, and Toura was rapidly discovering that their platform was more of a prototype than a solid base for future development. In this session, Rebecca will talk about the decision to start from scratch, what the team did differently the second time around, how they used features of the Dojo Toolkit to smooth the process, and how they designed the new solution with an emphasis on expecting the unexpected.

Thanks for your realistic approach to refactoring and the surrounding conversation for a rewrite

I'm sort of biased. So much of the information that you've put out into the world has been so useful to me that you could have stood in front of the room and talked about pretty much anything and I would have been happy.

Still, talks of this sort are my favorite kind, as they can convey concepts and knowledge well beyond just code. It was enlightening to hear about your approach on this project.
