Have you ever inherited a messy code base from some other developer? How about 10 years of messy code spanning multiple developers, with no source ontrol, documentation, or tests?

This talk focuses on applying best practices to existing code. We'll share some horror stories and talk about how to bring some sanity to an otherwise insane situation.
