Hi Folks,

(Apologies if you've seen this email on other lists)

My colleagues and I recently released a new version of our online workshop -- Refactoring to Patterns Interactive -- http://industriallogic.com/rtpdata/index.html

The new release features:

* 7 Important / Advanced Refactoring Challenges -- Including Refactorings To Visitor, Interpreter & State Patterns. This brings our total count of pattern-directed refactorings to 17

* Free Demo Pattern -- Allows you to experience what the workshop is like

* A Screencast (narrated movie) of Refactoring to the Strategy pattern - showing how to use automated tools (Eclipse for Java, and Resharper/Visual Studio for C#) to perform refactorings

* New Price: US$99.00 (effective only until the end of May, 2006)

Refactoring to Patterns Interactive has the following learning objectives:

* Identify areas of code (“smells”) in need of pattern-directed refactorings

* Gain hands-on experience in applying sequences of low-level refactorings to go to, towards or away from pattern implementations

* Gain a rich understanding of important Design Patterns, comparisons between patterns and real-world examples

* Understand the art of refactoring to patterns in order to apply that art to real-world projects and patterns not covered in this workshop

* Understand why using patterns to improve existing code is frequently better than using patterns early in a new design

We have Java and C# versions of the workshop. Prior to taking the workshop, we expect that you have familiarity with design concepts like tight and loose coupling and object-oriented concepts like inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, composition, interfaces, abstract and concrete classes and methods.
