Howdy all,

Lately I have been keen on patterns, practises, refactoring, etc.

I am flipping through "Refactoring to Patterns" and "Refactoring" and
"Code Complete" currently and wondered if anyone else could suggest any
really good reads along these lines.

Something specific to OO programming would be preferred. I have a week
off coming up and want to get in some reading. I'm going to be
purchasing this book too, so I am after something that you can read,
while also act as somewhat of a reference for future use.

Cheers,
Steven
 
Applying Domain Driven Design and Patterns by Jimmy Nilsson

I would also grab Domain Driven Design by Evans.

These will keep you busy for a bit :)

Its freaky that you mentioned them because I just discovered the Evans
book on the DDD website. Also, Amazon recommended the Evans book as a
frequent purchase when I was checking out the Refactoring book.

Thanks Greg.
 
Both are good books ... Evans is a bit more abstract while Jimmy is a bit
less in depth but covers more implementational examples and the thought
process associated in a .NET environment.

Hope you enjoy them.


p.s. achetype patterns is also pretty good though a fairly boring read.

Cheers,

Greg
 
I think I will get Jimmy's book.
I also found this one on Amazon in the same section; have you read it?

Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C# (Robert C. Martin)
