Developing Beautiful, Measurable Software

While the topic was pertinent, the content is starting to get repetitive. It is rather easy to come by some of the metrics that were presented. I would have very much preferred real world examples of what to refactor and what not to. Instead of showing us how to split a function, show us when it is useful. Splitting for the sake of it with dummy examples does not help.

Sébastien: thanks for the feedback. I was certainly aware that the code examples during the object calisthenics portion are contrived (most were adapted from the original Java articles on the subject). I'll look into replacing those with examples from PHP projects should I present the material again.
