Analysis Patterns: Reusable Object Modelsby Martin FowlerISBN 0201895420 (0-201-89542-0)
Hardcover, Addison-Wesley
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Analysis Patterns: Reusable Object Models'Book summary:Patterns are higher-order designs that can be reused across projects and types of computer systems. Analysis Patterns: Reusable Object Models defines over 70 patterns, beginning with some from the business world, such as the Party and Accountability patterns, which define the players in organizations and whom they report to. Many of the other patterns are drawn from the health care industry and mainly show patterns of doctor-patient interactions.
The patterns for financial markets will probably be accessible for the majority of readers. Author Martin Fowler defines a Transaction pattern (and related patterns) as well as several patterns for the Accounting of Objects. He moves on to modeling stock markets with Portfolio, Quote, and Scenario patterns, which define how a price for a stock is determined for a given moment. Interestingly, he establishes patterns for Forward Contracts (for derivatives) as well as Options, and so takes on a complicated area in today's financial markets.
Fowler's considerable design experience in these fields is beneficial, as he is able to define each pattern in both text and software engineering diagrams. Only rarely does the author provide implementations of these designs and those that are furnished are done in Smalltalk, which makes this book more suitable for those who have experience in object design.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Domain-Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software'Book summary:eric evans has written a fantastic book on how you can make the design of your software match your mental model of the problem domain you are addressing. "his book is very compatible with xp. It is not about drawing pictures of a domain; it is about how you think of it, the language you use to talk about it, and how you organize your software to reflect your improving understanding of it. Eric thinks that learning about your problem domain is as likely to happen at the end of your project as at the beginning, and so refactoring is a big part of his technique. "the book is a fun read. Eric has lots of interesting stories, and he has a way with words. I see this book as essential reading for software developers-it is a future classic." -ralph johnson, author of design patterns "if you don't think you are getting value from your investment in object-oriented programming, this book will tell you what you've forgotten to do."eric evans convincingly argues for the importance of domain modeling as the central focus of development and provides a solid framework and set of techniques for accomplishing it. This is timeless wisdom, and will hold up long after the methodologies du jour have gone out of fashion." -dave collins, author of designing object-oriented user interfaces "eric weaves real-world experience modeling-and building-business applications into a practical, useful book. Written from the perspective of a trusted practitioner, eric's descriptions of ubiquitous language, the benefits of sharing models with users, object life-cycle management, logical and physical application structuring, and the process and results of deep refactoring are major contributions to our field." -luke hohmann, author of beyond software architecture "this book belongs on the shelf of every thoughtful software developer.

Ethical Practice Of Critical Thinkingby Martin FowlerISBN 1594605033 (1-59460-503-3)

› Find signed collectible books: 'ETHICAL PRACTICE OF CRITICAL THINKING'Book summary:It's incredible that critical thinking texts can describe skills of logical deduction, inference, and argument as if thinking were something other than an activity which real people do together. Critical thinking is not just private pondering, nimble mental gymnastics, or a bland set of teachable skills. The Ethical Practice of Critical Thinking explores the ethical questions it poses: How do we sustain discussion when we apply and uphold worthy standards of thinking? How can critical thinking sustain and respect our dignity and worth when we think together about issues which matter for us? How can we sustain our group, organization, or meeting as a place worthy of each other and our best thinking? At our best, we argue in ways that uphold worthy standards of critical thinking, we respect each other s dignity as we try to think about things which matter for us. Even in our conflicts, we can make our group, organization, or meeting a place where we can fight together in our thinking without falling apart. If you agree that this ethical side to critical thinking deserves your attention, then you might ask other questions: Are fallacies just mistakes in reasoning or should we be ashamed of them? Is mathematical reasoning truly above ethics or is it soaked with it, just as much as arguing with words? Finally, in the middle of a media culture which can be mundane, distracting, stupefying, and hectic, how can we manage to come together to think hard - and keep thinking? [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Planning Extreme Programming'Book summary:Programming continues to refuse to be engineering. This is why there are so many cancelled projects, cost and time overruns and customer dissatisfaction. Planning Extreme Programming offers a way to run small-to-medium size programming projects in such a way as to produce the required product on time and to budget.
To achieve this the authors focus away from complex, report-led planning to a people-oriented process which treats programming like a craft project. Extreme Programming starts by recognising reality: start right and you'll finish right. In fact the authors specifically argue against overtime, increasing manpower on late projects and other such attempts to increase productivity as evidence of failure. They start by breaking projects into stories (or features), insist on customer involvement, iterate relentlessly over a timescale of weeks, set short-term targets based on the evidence of previous iterations and--in a break with traditional practices--absolutely insist on customer involvement at every stage, including signing off each story.
The claimed results of applying the XP approach is a better product with fewer bugs as well as the ability to meet agreed deadlines and budgets. Pretty impressive claims for a book that reads like a set of obvious, common-sense rules. Astonishingly, the only planning tool required is a box of index cards and the right attitude. You are even recommended to avoid spreadsheets. Perhaps, then, the real success of Extreme Programming rests on its implicit acknowledgement that programming is a craft, and not engineering. What can you say? It works. Read it and then implement it. -- Steve Patient [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Refactoring Databases: Evolutionary Database Design'Book summary:Refactoring has proven its value in a wide range of development projects-helping software professionals improve system designs, maintainability, extensibility, and performance. Now, for the first time, leading agile methodologist Scott Ambler and renowned consultant Pramodkumar Sadalage introduce powerful refactoring techniques specifically designed for database systems. Ambler and Sadalage demonstrate how small changes to table structures, data, stored procedures, and triggers can significantly enhance virtually any database design-without changing semantics. You'll learn how to evolve database schemas in step with source code-and become far more effective in projects relying on iterative, agile methodologies. This comprehensive guide and reference helps you overcome the practical obstacles to refactoring real-world databases by covering every fundamental concept underlying database refactoring. Using start-to-finish examples, the authors walk you through refactoring simple standalone database applications as well as sophisticated multi-application scenarios. You'll master every task involved in refactoring database schemas, and discover best practices for deploying refactorings in even the most complex production environments. The second half of this book systematically covers five major categories of database refactorings. You'll learn how to use refactoring to enhance database structure, data quality, and referential integrity; and how to refactor both architectures and methods. This book provides an extensive set of examples built with Oracle and Java and easily adaptable for other languages, such as C#, C++, or VB.NET, and other databases, such as DB2, SQL Server, MySQL, and Sybase. Using this book's techniques and examples, you can reduce waste, rework, risk, and cost-and build database systems capable of evolving smoothly, far into the future. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code'Book summary:Your class library works, but could it be better? Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code shows how refactoring can make object-oriented code simpler and easier to maintain. Today refactoring requires considerable design know-how, but once tools become available, all programmers should be able to improve their code using refactoring techniques.
Besides an introduction to refactoring, this handbook provides a catalog of dozens of tips for improving code. The best thing about Refactoring is its remarkably clear presentation, along with excellent nuts-and-bolts advice, from object expert Martin Fowler. The author is also an authority on software patterns and UML, and this experience helps make this a better book, one that should be immediately accessible to any intermediate or advanced object-oriented developer. (Just like patterns, each refactoring tip is presented with a simple name, a "motivation," and examples using Java and UML.)
Early chapters stress the importance of testing in successful refactoring. (When you improve code, you have to test to verify that it still works.) After the discussion on how to detect the "smell" of bad code, readers get to the heart of the book, its catalog of over 70 "refactorings"--tips for better and simpler class design. Each tip is illustrated with "before" and "after" code, along with an explanation. Later chapters provide a quick look at refactoring research.
Like software patterns, refactoring may be an idea whose time has come. This groundbreaking title will surely help bring refactoring to the programming mainstream. With its clear advice on a hot new topic, Refactoring is sure to be essential reading for anyone who writes or maintains object-oriented software. --Richard Dragan
Topics Covered: Refactoring, improving software code, redesign, design tips, patterns, unit testing, refactoring research, and tools. [via]

Softcover, Addison-Wesley
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Uml Distilled: A Brief Guide to the Standard Object Modeling Language'Book summary:The second edition of Martin Fowler's bestselling UML Distilled provides updates to the Unified Modeling Language (UML) without changing its basic formula for success. It is still arguably the best resource for quick, no-nonsense explanations of using UML.
The major strength of UML Distilled is its short, concise presentation of the essentials of UML and where it fits within today's software development process. The book describes all the major UML diagram types, what they're for, and the basic notation involved in creating and deciphering them. These diagrams include use cases; class and interaction diagrams; collaborations; and state, activity, and physical diagrams. The examples are always clear, and the explanations cut to the fundamental design logic.
For the second edition, the material has been reworked for use cases and activity diagrams, plus there are numerous small tweaks throughout, including the latest UML v. 1.3 standard. An appendix even traces the evolution of UML versions.
Working developers often don't have time to keep up with new innovations in software engineering. This new edition lets you get acquainted with some of the best thinking about efficient object-oriented software design using UML in a convenient format that will be essential to anyone who designs software professionally. --Richard Dragan
Topics covered: UML basics, analysis and design, outline development (software development process), inception, elaboration, managing risks, construction, transition, use case diagrams, class diagrams, interaction diagrams, collaborations, state diagrams, activity diagrams, physical diagrams, patterns, and refactoring basics.

› Find signed collectible books: 'UML konzentriert. Programmer's Choice'Book summary:Die zweite Auflage von Martin Fowlers Bestseller UML konzentriert liefert Informationen über die Neuerungen der Standard-Modellierungssprache UML, ohne jedoch dessen grundlegendes Erfolgsrezept zu verändern. UML konzentriert ist vielleicht immer noch das beste Nachschlagewerk für rasche, unkomplizierte Erläuterungen im Zusammenhang mit der Verwendung von UML.
Die Hauptstärke von UML konzentriert liegt in dessen kurzer und exakter Präsentation der wesentlichen Merkmale von UML sowie der Lokalisierung der Programmiersprache innerhalb des Entwicklungsprozesses heutiger Software. Das Buch beschreibt die wichtigsten UML-Diagrammtypen, deren Verwendungsweisen und die für ihre Erstellung und Entzifferung notwendige Notation. Dazu gehören die Anwendungsfälle (Use-cases), Klassen- und Interaktionsdiagramme, Kollaborationen und Zustands-, Aktivitäts- und physikalische Diagramme. Die angeführten Beispiele sind dabei durchweg verständlich und die Erklärungen auf die grundlegende Logik der Sprache zugeschnitten.
Für die zweite Auflage dieses Nachschlagewerkes wurde der Inhalt neu bearbeitet und umfasst nun auch Anwendungsfälle und Aktivitätsdiagramme; des Weiteren enthält das Buch zahlreiche Extras, einschließlich den neuesten Standard von UML in der Version 1.3. Ein Appendix beschreibt sogar die Entwicklung von UML anhand der verschiedenen Versionen.
Professionelle Entwickler haben häufig nicht die Zeit, um sich über sämtliche Neuerungen im Bereich Softwareentwicklung auf dem Laufenden zu halten. Diese Neuauflage macht Sie mit einigen der besten Ideen zu effizienter objektorientierter Softwareentwicklung unter Einsatz von UML vertraut -- ein unverzichtbarer Ratgeber für alle, die Software professionell entwickeln. --Richard Dragan [via]
