"The software development ecosystem is constantly changing, providing a constant stream of new tools, frameworks, techniques, and paradigms. Over the past few years, incremental developments in core engineering practices for software development have created the foundations for rethinking how architecture changes over time, along with ways to protect important architectural characteristics as it evolves. This practical guide ties those parts together with a new way to think about architecture and time."--Amazon.com.

Building Evolutionary Architectures

Martin Fowler

Martin Fowler's breakthrough practitioner-oriented book on Domain Specific Languages - will do for DSLs what Fowler did for refactoring! * *Fowler's highly anticipated introduction to DSLs: a category-defining book by one of the software world's most influential authors. *Two books in one: a concise narrative that introduces DSLs, and a larger reference that shows how to plan and develop them. *Helps software professionals reduce the cost and complexity of building DSLs - so they can take full advantage of them. Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) offer immense promise for software engineers who need better, faster ways to solve problems of specific types, or in specific areas or industries. DSLs have been around for several years, and have begun to grow in popularity. Now, Martin Fowler - one of the world's most influential software engineering authors - has written the first practitioner-oriented book about them. Fowler's legendary book, Refactoring, made software refactoring a crucial tool for software engineers worldwide; this book will do the same for DSLs. Fowler has designed Domain Specific Languages as two books in one. The first --a narrative designed to be read from 'cover to cover' - offers a concise introduction to DSLs, how they are implemented, and what are useful for. Next, Fowler thoroughly introduces today's most effective techniques for building DSLs. Fowler covers both 'external' and 'internal' DSLs, a well as alternative computational models, code generation, common parser topics, and much more. He provides extensive Java and C# examples throughout, as well as selected Ruby examples for concepts that can best be explained using a dynamic language. Together, both sections enable readers to make wellinformed choices about whether to use a DSL in their work, and which techniques to employ in order to build DSLs more quickly and cost-effectively.
