This is the first of two screencasts showing a live refactoring of a large controller method. In the first half, we break the method down into smaller methods so that we can understand it better. In the second half, we'll reason about those small pieces, find good names for them, and clarify. The end goals are small, understandable methods; better names; reduced early returns, conditionals, and other control structures; and better clarification of intent.
