"In the 'culture wars' narrative of the Republican ascendancy, this slippage represents the greatest con in recent history: while you rush to defend marriage or protect the unborn, please pay no attention to the financier behind the curtain." Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"The AntiPatterns authors have clearly been there and done that when it comes to managing software development efforts. I resonated with one insight after another, having witnessed too many wayward projects myself. The experience in this book is palpable." -John Vlissides, IBM Research "This book allows managers, architects, and developers to learn from the painful mistakes of others. The high-level AntiPatterns on software architecture are a particularly valuable contribution to software engineering. Highly recommended!" -Kyle Brown Author of The Design Patterns Smalltalk Companion "AntiPatterns continues the trend started in Design Patterns. The authors have discovered and named common problem situations resulting from poor management or architecture control, mistakes which most experienced practitioners will recognize. Should you find yourself with one of the AntiPatterns, they even provide some clues on how to get yourself out of the situation." -Gerard Meszaros, Chief Architect, Object Systems Group Are you headed into the software development mine field? Follow someone if you can, but if you're on your own-better get the map! AntiPatterns is the map. This book helps you navigate through today's dangerous software development projects. Just look at the statistics:

* Nearly one-third of all software projects are cancelled.

* Two-thirds of all software projects encounter cost overruns in excess of 200%.

* Over 800f all software projects are deemed failures.

While patterns help you to identify and implement procedures, designs, and codes that work, AntiPatterns do the exact opposite; they let you zero-in on the development detonators, architectural tripwires, and personality booby traps that can spell doom for your project. Written by an all-star team of object-oriented systems developers, AntiPatterns identifies 40 of the most common AntiPatterns in the areas of software development, architecture, and project management. The authors then show you how to detect and defuse AntiPatterns as well as supply refactored solutions for each AntiPattern presented.

Book News Annotation:

As the knowledge of what to avoid in programming is crucial to software success, the authors introduce 40 common programming solution methods that have unforeseen and incorrect effects on software. The volume covers common design "AntiPatterns" in software development, architecture, and managerial stages, and explains more successful ways to get around problems.

Synopsis:

Anti-patterns target those common mistakes, defects or errors that can adversely affect object-oriented projects and systems. This book discusses what anti-patterns are and also provides guidelines on what to do once the patterns are detected.

Synopsis:

Anti-Patterns - ein 'heißes Thema' in der Welt des objektorientierten Programmierens. Anti-Patterns helfen bei der Identifikation häufiger Fehler, Irrtümer und Mängel, die objektorientierte Projekte zum Scheitern bringen können. Wie Sie diese Muster erkennen und wie Sie effektiv darauf reagieren, zeigt Ihnen dieses Buch übersichtlich und anhand vieler Fallbeispiele. (04/98)
