Fat Models Aren't Enough

“Fat Models, Skinny Controllers” they scream. Pushing your logic down to the model layer is a key step to improve testability, maintainability, and code quality. But many developers now have “junk drawer” models that don’t realize these goals. Having a fat model isn’t enough!

In this session we’ll explore techniques for improving your models including:

• Extracting code into libraries and gems
• Encapsulating logic into processor objects
• Using the presenter pattern
• Deciding between class and instance methods
• Guidelines to judge code quality and complexity

When you leave this session you’ll be dying to refactor!
