Recently there's been a plethora of books along the design patterns
line, including one called "Antipatterns". I was recently browsing
this tome, which appears to be about patterns that do not lend
themselves to good design, when I was rudely thrown out of the
bookstore before I could memorize the author's name. Anyone read
this book or some of the other design patterns books?
I also recommend "Object Oriented Modeling and Design" by Rumbaugh,
Blaha, Premerlani, Eddy and Lorensen. Lots of case study material
included. I'm not sure how it compares with the other book you
mention.
Booch also had an excellent book on software design and modelling
using Ada (c. 1990) with an interesting modelling notation (reminds
me of something Rube Goldberg may have created). Even if you don't
use Ada, there's a lot of good info about concurrent and real-time
programming.
