Title: F A N T A S T I C
Review: This book is fantastic for many reasons - foremost in my list because it indirectly teaches what good OOP looks and feels like in implementation. Many books try to do this, but don't quite do it the way this one does it for me. This book shows you how to detect "smells" in code that need attention. More interesting is how a so-so/poor program can be turned into an elegant piece of engineering that is simpler to read and understand.In addition:* It's well written.* Indirectly shows you how to make better OO code* Section on identifying "bad smells" in code is dead on.* JUnit - a testing framework introduced in the book is fantastic.Must get. - Best programming related book I have read this year (2000).
