Refactoring Legacy Codebases

Refactoring Legacy Codebases
Speed determines the success of software today — slow apps lose users quickly. Performance profiling is the process of analyzing where an application spends time, memory, and resources to identify bottlenecks. This course helps developers build fast, responsive apps with minimal load time and buttery-smooth interactions.

Students will begin by learning key performance metrics, including response time, frame rates, CPU usage, and network latency. Understanding real user performance vs. theoretical performance helps make data-driven optimization decisions that improve user perception.

Profiling tools are essential for detecting performance issues. The course includes hands-on training with profilers, debuggers, render analyzers, and cache inspection tools depending on the platform — whether mobile, web, or desktop. These tools help pinpoint slow logic, large rendering blocks, or memory leaks.

Memory management plays a major role in performance. Developers learn techniques to eliminate memory leaks, optimize garbage collection, shrink app size, and improve caching strategy. Efficient resource handling ensures stability across low-end devices and weak networks.

UI responsiveness is addressed through smooth rendering and animation techniques. Students learn best practices for reducing layout reflows, avoiding heavy computations on the main thread, and using asynchronous operations and background workers for consistent visual performance.

Network optimization is another essential skill. The course covers data compression, efficient API calls, pagination, lazy loading, and offline-first approaches. Faster loading improves UX, especially for apps requiring large data consumption like streaming and social platforms.

Simulation testing helps identify performance issues under real-world conditions. Students will perform stress tests, load tests, and device–network variability tests to ensure apps remain reliable under peak usage.

Monitoring and APM tools allow continuous tracking of performance in production environments. Developers will interpret real analytics data to optimize future releases and avoid regressions after updates.

By the end of this course, learners will deliver apps that feel fast, responsive, and enjoyable on all devices. Performance optimization makes developers stand out and significantly increases product success and user satisfaction.
