Martin Fowler is een software-ingenieur en een vooraanstaand voorstander van best practices in het ontwerp van bedrijfssoftware. Zijn werk richt zich sterk op agile softwareontwikkelingsmethodologieën en promoot principes die leiden tot effectiever en kwalitatief beter softwareontwerp. Hij legt de nadruk op praktische toepassing en kennisdeling binnen de softwaregemeenschap.
'NoSQL Distilled' is designed to provide you with enough background on how NoSQL databases work, so that you can choose the right data store without having to trawl the whole web to do it. It won't answer your questions definitively, but it should narrow down the range of options you have to consider.
"Domain-Driven Design" incorporates numerous examples in Java-case studies taken from actual projects that illustrate the application of domain-driven design to real-world software development.
Developers of enterprise applications (e.g reservation systems, supply chain programs, financial systems, etc.) face a unique set of challenges, different than those faced by their desktop system and embedded system peers. For this reason, enterprise developers must uncover their own solutions. In this new book, noted software engineering expert Martin Fowler turns his attention to enterprise application development. He helps professionals understand the complex -- yet critical -- aspects of architecture. While architecture is important to all application development, it is particularly critical to the success of an enterprise project, where issues such as performance and concurrent multi-user access are paramount. The book presents patterns (proven solutions to recurring problems) in enterprise architecture, and the context provided by the author enables the reader to make the proper choices when faced with a difficult design decision.
Whenever you read this book, it's time to revisit it. If you haven't read it yet, do so before writing another line of code. Fully revised and updated, it includes new refactorings and code examples. For over twenty years, programmers have relied on this guide to improve code design, enhance software maintainability, and make code easier to understand. This eagerly awaited edition reflects crucial changes in the programming landscape, featuring an updated catalog of refactorings, JavaScript examples, and new functional examples that demonstrate refactoring without classes. It explains what refactoring is, why it's essential, how to identify code that needs it, and how to execute it successfully in any programming language. You'll learn the process and principles of refactoring, apply useful techniques to enhance program comprehension and adaptability, and recognize "bad smells" in code that indicate refactoring opportunities. Each refactoring is detailed with explanations, motivation, mechanics, and simple examples. Additionally, you’ll discover how to build solid tests for your refactorings and understand the tradeoffs and obstacles involved. The edition includes free access to the canonical web version, offering even more refactoring resources.
Refactoring is gaining momentum amongst the object oriented programming community. It can transform the internal dynamics of applications and has the capacity to transform bad code into good code. This book offers an introduction to refactoring.
More than 300,000 developers have benefited from past editions of UML Distilled . This third edition is the best resource for quick, no-nonsense insights into understanding and using UML 2.0 and prior versions of the UML. Some readers will want to quickly get up to speed with the UML 2.0 and learn the essentials of the UML. Others will use this book as a handy, quick reference to the most common parts of the UML. The author delivers on both of these promises in a short, concise, and focused presentation. This book describes all the major UML diagram types, what they're used for, and the basic notation involved in creating and deciphering them. These diagrams include class, sequence, object, package, deployment, use case, state machine, activity, communication, composite structure, component, interaction overview, and timing diagrams. The examples are clear and the explanations cut to the fundamental design logic. Includes a quick reference to the most useful parts of the UML notation and a useful summary of diagram types that were added to the UML 2.0. If you are like most developers, you don't have time to keep up with all the new innovations in software engineering. This new edition of Fowler's classic work gets you acquainted with some of the best thinking about efficient object-oriented software design using the UML--in a convenient format that will be essential to anyone who designs software professionally.
This 1998 book conveys the essence of object-oriented programming and software building through the Unified Modeling Language.
