Refactorings by Category, Plus New Videos

Recently we started grouping the refactorings by category. And we've also started recording video demos of each refactoring in Refactor! Pro, and we'll make those available to you as we complete post-production on each. For now, here are the refactorings by category, with links to the videos appearing in the category text (two videos are ready today -- Loops and Blocks and Formatting and Structure):
