Data Model Patterns: A Metadata Map (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems):

Data Model Patterns: A Metadata Map (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems)

Product Description

In recent years, companies and government agencies have come to realize that the data they use represent a significant corporateresource, whose cost calls for management every bit as rigorous as the management of human resources, money, and capital equipment. With this realization has come recognition of the importance to integrate the data that has traditionally only been available from disparate sources. An important component of this integration is the management of the “metadata” that describe, catalogue, and provide access to the various forms of underlying business data. The “metadata repository” is essential keeping track both of the various physical components of these systems, but also their semantics. What do we mean by “customer?” Where can we find information about our customers?

After years of building enterprise models for the oil, pharmaceutical, banking, and other industries, Dave Hay has here not only developed a conceptual model of such a metadata repository, he has in fact created a true enterprise data model of the information technology industry itself.

* A comprehensive work based on the Zachman Framework for information architecture-encompassing the Business Owner’s, Architect’s, and Designer’s views, for all columns (data, activities, locations, people, timing, and motivation)

* Provides a step-by-step description of model and is organized so that different readers can benefit from different parts

* Provides a view of the world being addressed by all the techniques, methods and tools of the information processing industry (for example, object-oriented design, CASE, business process re-engineering, etc.)

* Presents many concepts that are not currently being addressed by such tools – and should be

Software Factories: Assembling Applications with Patterns, Models, Frameworks, and Tools:

Software Factories: Assembling Applications with Patterns, Models, Frameworks, and Tools

Product Description

The architects of the Software Factories method provide a detailed look at this faster, less expensive, and more reliable approach to application development. Software Factories significantly increase the level of automation in application development at medium to large companies, applying the time tested pattern of using visual languages to enable rapid assembly and configuration of framework based components.Unlike other approaches to Model Driven Development (MDD), such as Model Driven Architecture (MDA) from the Object Management Group (OMG), Software Factories do not use the Unified Modeling Language (UML), a general purpose modeling language designed for models used as documentation. They go beyond models as documentation, using models based on highly tuned Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) and the Extensible Markup Language (XML) as source artifacts, to capture life cycle metadata, and to support high fidelity model transformation, code generation and other forms of automation.

Building business applications is currently an extremely labor-intensive process that relies on a limited pool of highly talented developers. As global demand for software exceeds the capacity of this labor pool, current software development methods will be replaced by automated methods, meaning cheaper, faster, and more reliable application development. Wiley Computer Publishing has teamed with industry experts Jack Greenfield and Keith Short, both architects in the Enterprise Frameworks and Tools group at Microsoft, and leading authorities on Model Driven Development (MDD), to help technical professionals understand how business application development is changing. With two chapters on Domain Specific Language (DSL) development by contributors Steve Cook and Stuart Kent, they take an in-depth look at challenges facing developers using current methods and practices, and critical innovations that can help with these challenges, such as Pattern Automation, Generative Programming, Software Product Lines, Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP), Component Based Development (CBD), Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), Service Orchestration and Web Service Integration. They then propose the Software Factories method, which has the potential to significantly change software development practice, by reducing the cost of building reusable assets, such as patterns, languages, frameworks and tools, for specific problem domains, and then applying them to accelerate the assembly of applications in those domains.

After introducing Software Factories, the book describes these key enabling technologies in depth, and shows how they can be integrated and applied to support a form of Rapid Application Development (RAD). It then provides a detailed example of a working Software Factory and answers Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). Readers will gain a better understanding of these technologies, and will learn how to apply them to implement Software Factories within their own organizations.

Object Oriented Reengineering Patterns:

Object Oriented Reengineering Patterns

product description :

The documentation is missing or obsolete, and the original developers have departed. Your team has limited understanding of the system, and unit tests are missing for many, if not all, of the components. When you fix a bug in one place, another bug pops up somewhere else in the system. Long rebuild times make any change difficult. All of these are signs of software that is close to the breaking point. Many systems can be upgraded or simply thrown away if they no longer serve their purpose. Legacy software, however, is crucial for operations and needs to be continually available and upgraded. How can you reduce the complexity of a legacy system sufficiently so that it can continue to be used and adapted at acceptable cost?

Based on the authors’ industrial experiences, this book is a guide on how to reverse engineer legacy systems to understand their problems, and then reengineer those systems to meet new demands. Patterns are used to clarify and explain the process of understanding large code bases, hence transforming them to meet new requirements. The key insight is that the right design and organization of your system is not something that can be evident from the initial requirements alone, but rather as a consequence of understanding how these requirements evolve.

* Describes how to reverse engineer a monolithic system to understand how it really works and how to identify potential problems.

* Includes reengineering patterns that tackle well-known reengineering techniques often encountered in object-oriented programming, such as introducing polymorphism, factoring out common behavior, detecting duplicated code, and understanding design.

* Shows how to build a culture of continuous reengineering for achieving flexible and maintainable object-oriented systems.

PHP Design Patterns:

Stephan Schmidt “PHP Design Patterns”
O’Reilly | German | 2009-02-27 | ISBN: 389721864X | 496 pages | PDF | 68,5 MB

Summary:
Erst seit einem Jahr entwickle ich ausschliesslich objektorientiert, vornehmlich in PHP – wobei dies _nicht_ meine Hauptbetätigung ist. Über Design Patterns bin ich zwar schon gestolpert, wurde aber von der oft theoretischen bzw. Java-lastigen Behandlung abgehalten, obwohl ich – ohne es zu wissen – bereits das ein oder andere Pattern selbst angewendet habe.

Dieses Buch entpuppte sich für mich als Offenbarung (ich habe es verschlungen), denn der Autor hat es geschafft, alle vorgestellten Design Patterns nachvollziehbar anhand eines einzigen PHP-Projektes (Autovermietung) zu veranschaulichen – und zwar mit je Pattern gleicher, strukturierter Herangehensweise. Dies erlaubt mir die Nutzung dieses Werkes als späteres Nachschlagewerk für die PHP-Praxis.

Hervorheben möchte ich den bei vielen Patterns vom Autor benutzten Stil, ausgehend von einem Design-Problem eine Anfangslösung zu präsentieren, die er dann schrittweise zur optimalen Lösung anhand von PHP-Beispielen ausbaut. So lernte ich gleich mögliche Stolpersteine kennen, die mir beim Design begegnen könnten.

Auch die Erläuterung von OOP speziell in PHP sowie der Neuerungen in PHP 5.3 empfand ich als äusserst hilfreich. Das Buch leidet auch nicht unter irgendwelchen Übersetzungsproblemen inhaltlicher als auch sprachlicher Natur (da deutscher Autor), was bei technischer Einstiegsliteratur für mich eine Rolle spielt.

Fazit: Uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert.

Core Security Patterns: Best Practices and Strategies for J2EE(TM), Web Services, and Identity Management

Product Description

Praise for Core Security Patterns Java provides the application developer with essential security mechanisms and support in avoiding critical security bugs common in other languages. A language, however, can only go so far. The developer must understand the security requirements of the application and how to use the features Java provides in order to meet those requirements. Core Security Patterns addresses both aspects of security and will be a guide to developers everywhere in creating more secureapplications. –Whitfield Diffie, inventor of Public-Key Cryptography A comprehensive book on Security Patterns, which are critical for secure programming. –Li Gong, former Chief Java Security Architect, Sun Microsystems, and coauthor of Inside Java 2 Platform Security As developers of existing applications, or future innovators that will drive the next generation of highly distributed applications, the patterns and best practices outlined in this book will be an important asset to your development efforts. –Joe Uniejewski, Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President, RSA Security, Inc.This book makes an important case for taking a proactive approach to security rather than relying on the reactive security approach common in the software industry. –Judy Lin, Executive Vice President, VeriSign, Inc. Core Security Patterns provides a comprehensive patterns-driven approach and methodology for effectively incorporating security into your applications. I recommend that every application developer keep a copy of this indispensable security reference by their side. –Bill Hamilton, author of ADO.NET Cookbook, ADO.NET in a Nutshell, and NUnit Pocket Reference As a trusted advisor, this book will serve as a Java developers security handbook, providing applied patterns and design strategies for securing Java applications. –Shaheen Nasirudheen, CISSP,Senior Technology Officer, JPMorgan Chase Like Core J2EE Patterns, this book delivers a proactive and patterns-driven approach for designing end-to-end security in your applications. Leveraging the authors strong security experience, they created a must-have book for any designer/developer looking to create secure applications.- -John Crupi, Distinguished Engineer, Sun Microsystems, coauthor of Core J2EE Patterns Core Security Patterns is the hands-on practitioners guide to building robust end-to-end security into J2EE enterprise applications, Web services, identity management, service provisioning, and personal identification solutions. Written by three leading Java security architects, the patterns-driven approach fully reflects todays best practices for security in large-scale, industrial-strength applications. The authors explain the fundamentals of Java application security from the ground up, then introduce a powerful, structured security methodology; a vendor-independent security framework; a detailed assessment checklist; and twenty-three proven security architectural patterns. They walk through several realistic scenarios, covering architecture and implementation and presenting detailed sample code.They demonstrate how to apply cryptographic techniques; obfuscate code; establish secure communication; secure J2ME applications; authenticate and authorize users; and fortify Web services, enabling single sign-on, effective identity management, and personal identification using Smart Cards and Biometrics. Core Security Patterns covers all of the following, and more: *What works and what doesnt: J2EE application-security best practices, and common pitfalls to avoid*Implementing key Java platform security features in real-world applications*Establishing Web Services security using XML Signature, XML Encryption, WS-Security, XKMS, and WS-I Basic security profile*Designing identity management and service provisioning systems using SAML, Liberty, XACML, and SPML*Designing secure personal identification solutions using Smart Cards and Biometrics*Security design methodology, patterns, best practices, reality checks, defensive strategies, and evaluation checklists*End-to-end security architecture case study: architecting, designing, and implementing an end-to-end security solution for large-scale applications
