Hands-on refactoring with Wrangler
Wrangler supports refactoring for Erlang projects, and is embedded in emacs and Erlide, the Erlang plugin for Eclipse. With Wrangler you can perform basic refactorings, such as renaming a function across a project, or extracting a function from a piece of Erlang code.
Wrangler also allows you to find duplicate or "similar" code across a project, and to refactor this to eliminate these code clones. This has proved to be very useful particularly in examining test code. You can also spot "bad smells" in code using the Wrangler code inspector.
Please bring along your laptop so that you can get started with Wrangler. Also please bring code that you'd like to refactor, and particularly where you want to see what sort of clones the code may contain.
