Create readable code as you develop your application and reduce future frustration using the techniques gleaned from superior experience.
Refactoring is the process of revising existing code, which is often a time consuming process. However, prefactoring is the art of applying the insights gleaned from previous experience (whether yours or someone else's) to new projects. It's based on the premise that you're better off considering the best possible design patterns before beginning a project. Using real world examples, this chapter excerpt from Prefactoring by Ken Pugh develops clear code development axioms that can be applied to any project to increase efficiency and reduce the potential for time consuming problems in the future.
