Reader Reviews
Software engineering books are usually the most boring books you can find: you read them only if you have to. The reason is not because the subject is boring (it really is not), but because most of the software engineering researchers lack either knowledge, first hand experience, culture, intelligence, or combinations thereof. This one is an exception. It if the first time I read a book on software engineering with the impression that I learn important things, that the authors know what they are talking about, and do no try to sell propaganda, but to understand the real issues behind reuse. Taking reuse as a focal point, the book addresses and highlights most of the software engineering issues at stake in the last twenty years, from frameworks, patterns, oo programming up to metaclass programming and meta modeling. This makes it incidentally an ideal reference book for teaching software engineering in the large. Not only you get plenty of technical details and well crafted examples, but you also get a fully documented vision - so often lacking in this field : that the whole point of engineering software is not only about solving problems, but also about solving them in the right way, elegantly, and so that the code produced is understandable, maintanable, etc. In short, that it makes sense.
