How can you improve code that has grown too quickly and perhaps without much organization, simply and a little at a time? How can you modernize a legacy application?
In fourteen steps, Rafael Gómez Blanes presents a straightforward method for modernizing a software project with poor design and too much technical debt, while making as little effort as possible.
