This talk discusses a wide swath of topics, including good citizenship, appropriate messaging between objects, canonicality, reflection & code generation, improving your abstractions via domain specific languages, sacred cows, code generation, common code smells, and anti-objects. The goal is to make you think differently about the code you write every day. No one writes perfect code, and every developer eventually falls into a slump where they just crank out the same code day after day.
At JAX India 2007, Neal Ford’s talk helps identify your pitfalls and how to avoid them. The session will also discuss Good citizenship, Sacred cows (including getter/setters, test names, and others), Methods & messaging, Canonicality (The Don't Repeat Yourself principle from the Pragmatic Programmer), Mixins and Aspects, Reflection, Code generation, Abstraction upgrade via DSLs, Common code smells (including helper classes, procedural programming, and others), and Anti-objects, with lots of examples.

Attend Neal’s talk and gain a good understanding of anti-patterns to avoid in their code and ways around common pitfalls, including bad habits ingrained for years.
