Summary:
How do the experts solve difficult problems in software
development? In this unique and insightful book, leading
computer scientists offer case studies that reveal how they
found unusual, carefully designed solutions to high-profile
projects. You will be able to look over the shoulder of major
coding and design experts to see problems through their eyes.
This is not simply another design patterns book, or another
software engineering treatise on the right and wrong way to do
things. The authors think aloud as they work through their
project's architecture, the tradeoffs made in its construction,
and when it was important to break rules. This book contains 33
chapters contributed by Brian Kernighan, Karl Fogel, Jon
Bentley, Tim Bray, Elliotte Rusty Harold, Michael Feathers,
Alberto Savoia, Charles Petzold, Douglas Crockford, Henry S.
Warren, Jr., Ashish Gulhati, Lincoln Stein, Jim Kent, Jack
Dongarra and Piotr Luszczek, Adam Kolawa, Greg Kroah-Hartman,
Diomidis Spinellis, Andrew Kuchling, Travis E. Oliphant, Ronald
Mak, Rogerio Atem de Carvalho and Rafael Monnerat, Bryan
Cantrill, Jeff Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat, Simon Peyton Jones,
Kent Dybvig, William Otte and Douglas C. Schmidt, Andrew
Patzer, Andreas Zeller, Yukihiro Matsumoto, Arun Mehta, TV
Raman, Laura Wingerd and Christopher Seiwald, and Brian Hayes.
