New Reading

Here is my latest reading….

Since I do so much of this – framework design – I figured I would see what they have to say :)

Framework Design Guidelines : Conventions, Idioms, and Patterns for Reusable .NET Libraries

 

The author’s blog – Brad Abrams – he is on my current blog reading list.
Eric Evans Domain Driven Design is one of my all time favorite software books. I quote it to other developers and push the concepts in my day to day since my 1st read of it. I was excited to see this today – emailed to me – as a recommendation by Amazon (good job folks).
Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns : With Examples in C# and .NET

the author’s Blog

Also – I finished these recently – both are good in the interaction/ UI design space :

The Inmates Are Running the Asylum : Why High Tech Products Drive Us Crazy and How To Restore The Sanity 

 

This is a WONDERFUL book that lays clear the thinks you should be thinking about when doing interaction/ UI design.
The Design of Everyday Things


Go – get readin’!

Someone else bashing singletons :)

Yet another person talking about systems chock-full-o-singletons… And he asks … WHY?

The Highlander Pattern

I would love to excerpt this entire article :) He chats about how ‘popular’ singleton is – and how some other patterns never gor more popular. He talks about the fact that all too often singletons are used as global variables.

Anyhow… Read it – really.
