It equips enterprise developers with proven architectural strategies to build robust, scalable applications across evolving platforms, making it an indispensable resource for mastering complex software design challenges. ## Description The practice of enterprise application development has benefited from the emergence of many new enabling technologies. Multi-tiered object-oriented platforms, such as Java and .NET, have become commonplace. These new tools and technologies are capable of building powerful applications, but they are not easily implemented. Common failures in enterprise applications often occur because their developers do not understand the architectural lessons that experienced object developers have learned. Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture is written in direct response to the stiff challenges that face enterprise application developers. The author, noted object-oriented designer Martin Fowler, noticed that despite changes in technology--from Smalltalk to CORBA to Java to .NET--the same basic design ideas can be adapted and applied to solve common problems. With the help of an expert group of contributors, Martin distills over forty recurring solutions into patterns. The result is an indispensable handbook of solutions that are applicable to any enterprise application platform. This book is actually two books in one. The first section is a short tutorial on developing enterprise applications, which you can read from start to finish to understand the scope of the book's lessons. The next section, the bulk of the book, is a detailed reference to the patterns themselves. Each pattern provides usage and implementation information, as well as detailed code examples in Java or C#. The entire book is also richly illustrated with UML diagrams to further explain the concepts. Armed with this book, you will have the knowledge necessary to make important architectural decisions about building an enterprise application and the proven patterns for use when building them. The topics covered include · Dividing an enterprise application into layers · The major approaches to organizing business logic · An in-depth treatment of mapping between objects and relational databases · Using Model-View-Controller to organize a Web presentation · Handling concurrency for data that spans multiple transactions · Designing distributed object interfaces Review: One of these books that make you feel confident with your skills - I consider this one as a basic reference on my bookshelf. While I found GoF very useful as one of this books that make you think and show you the way to your programmer's career when you are not very experienced, Fowler's book adds the enterprise touch in a way I enjoy each time I get back to the book. I tells you about those many things in real life applications that you may have not come across yet and you need to develop carefully when you are working in a big project. The enterprise approach to patterns is light but described in a rigorous manner. I must confess I enjoy these books that are not tied to a given version of a given language much more than the rest. The information you get is more open and you get a better understanding of the big picture. If this one doesn't become a timeless reference (the way our profession changes I wouldn't dare to say so from any book), it will sure stand as a classic of its era. Review: Excellent descriptions of common architectural patterns - Martinn Fowler describes in turn many of the common software architectural patterns using a combination of high-level description, code samples (mostly in Java) and suggestions about when to use and when not to use each pattern. The text of the book is consistent and logical in its presentation with plenty of cross-referencing between the patterns. The book is developer-oriented and focuses on principals more than the detailed implementations. As the author states, this is not a software cookbook, The book helps the developer to approach architectural problems with a range of concepts and strategies to solve design problems. It describes the architectural frameworks that can be used to implement systems of different sizes. It is a useful reference book too. I expect I will be referring to it a lot when I am looking for ideas. Only downside was the occasional grammatical error which meant I had to re-read parts of it to understand the text properly. Only a minor issue but surprising in a book of this quality. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 293,681 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 46 in Computer Databases (Books) 127 in Computer Architecture & Microprocessors | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 831 Reviews | ## Images ![– Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture (Addison-Wesley Signature Series (Fowler)) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oooJZWSNL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of these books that make you feel confident with your skills *by P***E on 4 February 2013* I consider this one as a basic reference on my bookshelf.

This is more of a definitive reference on patterns in application development. A must read of developers working with patterns. ## Frequently Bought Together - Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture - Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code (2nd Edition) (Addison-Wesley Signature Series (Fowler)) - Clean Architecture: A Craftsman's Guide to Software Structure and Design (Robert C.
