Summary

The first video in the Python Server refactor series where we discuss the project and get started with the preliminary tasks.

Heres what we did:

  • Looked at architecture and other project information
  • Got project into version control, set up Git repository
    • Dealt with line endings issue
    • Deal with trailing whitespace issue (see links)
  • Initial assessment of the code
    • Found global scope code issues
    • Found inconsistent formatting of code
    • Found massive ball-of-mud object with tons of instance variable
    • Found instance variables that really should be constants
