Anti Patterns

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 80% of 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.
