 Written on January 14, 2005 Summary: one of the best Probably the best general application architecture books out there. The only time this book gets specific to a proprietary technology is in the examples only because martin wants to show you a real world example of what he is talking about. There are examples in C#, some in java, etc. It is organized very well and if you were around when he was developing it you could have gotten the whole book in pdf form for free! Written on December 16, 2004 Summary: Collection of architecture patterns You could view this as a rehashing of patterns that have existing for some time - or - you could view this is a collection of those patterns that are still relevant today. Based on how I used this book in my work, I see it from the latter perspective. There's nothing wrong with re-documenting old material when you focus on what's been proven and successful. Plus, there's new content that will be of interest to many as well. Though this book came out a while ago, I feel it is still relevant today.  Written on December 2, 2004 Summary: A good summary of other works, but little new material I read this the first week it came out and was suprised by how much it rehashed GOF and the Core J2EE patterns books; however I have referred back to it on "Unit of Work" and a couple other concepts that it helped to differentiate. TO it's credit it consolidated information from several bodies of knowledge in patterns, and it provided c# examples in many cases, thereby being the first high profile work that really exposed MS developers to a world of patterns, that was arguably previously unknown. Besides being somewhat lacking in originality, the other problems were the fact it actually catalogued anti-patterns as patterns (e.g. transaction script is basically unmaintainable web pages), and it addressed enterprise system architecture without paying any mind to integration concerns (see Hohpe for an excellent treatment of this subject); I'm not sure the two really are separable when we start talking about business services. The best thing about this book is that it emphasizes the criticality of rich domain models in complex systems, which IMHO is a core design principle which is currently being eroded by a current of irrational and marketing-drunk SOA furor ... which reminds me, Domain Driven Design is not to be missed, it's simply an inspired work which helps to make Fowler's domain model achievable for almost anyone. Written on November 11, 2004 Summary: Don't be afraid of the word Enterprise in the title Don't be afraid of the word Enterprise in the title, this book is relevant even if you work only on small/medium size applications. Fowler covers lot of database and data related patterns and quite a good amount of material is related to browser-based client GUIs. Written on March 23, 2004 Summary: Design Patterns at the implementation level for J2EE, .NET This book is a little more implementation specific than the incredibly popular Gang of Four Design Patterns book. Many of the patterns, the Data Transfer Object pattern, for example, are fairly specific to the J2EE structural problem at hand. Other patterns, like the Lazy Load, are good architectural patterns on any platform. There is enough generic content to justify the purchase of the book for architects implementing on any platform (J2EE, .NET, PHP, etc.) but it does favor the two current platforms de jour; J2EE and .NET. One of the nice things about the book is how the code tends to de-emphasize the application container by doing most of the work in the raw database access systems (e.g. JDBC), which makes it easy to understand what is going on but will offend the true J2EE believer. This makes the patterns in the book accessible to anyone coding in any environment, which I greatly appreciate. One pet peeve is that some of the patterns are obvious shells for a single technique, such as the Transform View, which is really just XSLT. The text says as much, but shouldn't there be more than one example of a particular pattern in nature? It's just a pet peeve though, it's no reason to avoid the book. Overall, the book is well written and edited and the graphics add to the exposition but are not gratuitous. It's a useful guide for anyone looking to raise the level of the enterprise application (read web application) thought up to the next level. |
