Cleaner, Leaner, Meaner: Refactoring Your JavaScript

Your first iteration of a feature gets the job done, but you have a sneaking suspicion it could be a whole lot cleaner. Where to start? Is refactoring worth the time?

In this talk, we'll look at strategies for refactoring our JavaScript, with a focus on isolating individual pieces of functionality and eliminating repetition.
