Awareness of design smells – indicators of common design problems – helps developers or software engineers understand mistakes made while designing, what design principles were overlooked or misapplied, and what principles need to be applied properly to address those smells through refactoring. Developers and software engineers may "know" principles and patterns, but are not aware of the "smells" that exist in their design because of wrong or mis-application of principles or patterns. These smells tend to contribute heavily to technical debt – further time owed to fix projects thought to be complete – and need to be addressed via proper refactoring.Refactoring for Software Design Smells presents 25 structural design smells, their role in identifying design issues, and potential refactoring solutions. Organized across common areas of software design, each smell is presented with diagrams and examples illustrating the poor design practices and the problems that result, creating a catalog of nuggets of readily usable information that developers or engineers can apply in their projects. The authors distill their research and experience as consultants and trainers, providing insights that have been used to improve refactoring and reduce the time and costs of managing software projects. Along the way they recount anecdotes from actual projects on which the relevant smell helped address a design issue.

"Given its practical orientation and the variety of real-world examples offered throughout the book, this is a must-have for any practicing software engineer, developer, software architect, or anyone else interested in software design."--Computing Reviews
"... a delightful, engaging, actionable read... you have in your hand a veritable field guide of smells... one of the more interesting and complex expositions of software smells you will ever find... The concept of technical debt is central to understanding the forces that weigh upon systems, for it often explains where and how and why a system is stressed. What delights me about this present book is its focus on technical debt and refactoring as the actionable means to attend to it." --From the foreword by Grady Booch, IBM Fellow and Chief Scientist for Software Engineering, IBM Research
"Evolving software inevitably accumulates technical debt, making maintenance increasingly painful and expensive. The authors, based on their extensive experience, categorize the major design problems (smells) that come up in software, and lucidly explain how these can be solved with appropriate refactoring." --Diomidis Spinellis, Author of “Code Reading and “Code Quality, Addison-Wesley Professional
"...the book I would have loved to write... Refactoring for Software Design Smells is an excellent book. It is another milestone that professionals will use... I’m sure that you will learn a lot from it and that you will enjoy it." --From the foreword by Stéphane Ducasse, Co-author of Object-Oriented Reengineering Patterns, Morgan Kaufmann

I honestly have no words for this book. I love Michael Jackson and I am one of his biggest fans . Reading this felt like I was having a deep late night conversation with him. I wish I could read it for the first time again!!! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS MICHAEL #FOREVERINNOCENT #MJ #SHAMONE #HEEHEE #DONTSTOPTILLYOUGETENOUGH
Aangetrokke met die eerste oogopslag, maar dis nie gelykpad nie
Liefdesverhale is ’n effektiewe manier om waarhede aangaande verhoudings en die huwelik oor te dra. “… as jy die dag besluit om lief te wees vir die persoon wat jy gekies het, het jy ’n goeie kans om dit te maak werk.” (p. 65) Dit is raad wat ek raaklees in Veral jy, die tweede boek in die reeks oor die Du Bois-susters. Die skrywer is die gewilde Elsa Winckler.
Boek 1, In ’n oomblik, was die storie van die warrelwind romanse tussen Kirsten en Marnus. Boek 2 open met hulle troue en die plofbare ontmoeting tussen ’n volgende van die susters, Martine, en Antonie, een van die strooijonkers. Daar was na hom verwys as die “strooijonker-sonder-naam”, want hulle het nie tyd gemors met uitruil van name nie.
Antonie kom met bagasie wat spruit uit ’n ongelukkige kinderlewe en Martine het self ’n effe verwronge uitkyk oor die wenslikheid van trou. Dus is die tafel gedek vir seerkry. Voeg daarby ’n bitter tante wat ongenooid opdaag, en dinge verloop alles behalwe glad vir hulle.
Hartverskeurende en eerlike reis deur groot verlies
Anderkant die water is ’n boek wat jou bombardeer met emosies. Ronel du Plessis, eggenote van die voormalige Springbokrugbyspeler, Jannie du Plessis, skryf met pynlike eerlikheid oor die ramp wat hulle gesin getref het toe hulle jongste spruit in hulle swembad verdrink het.
Sy begin by die begin van haar en Jannie se verhaal, mediese studente, hulle hospitaaljare, hulle verblyf in Frankryk toe Jannie daar gaan speel het vir ’n Franse klub. Terug in Suid-Afrika, die opwinding van ’n huis teen die berg wat met haar siel praat, maar uiteindelik die plek van groot verlies sou word.
Haar sketse en gedigte gee verdere diepte aan haar vertelling. “My kalender het nou nie meer dae, dit bestaan net uit voor en na” (p.197) en “dalk kan U my vaswerk, ek voel te oop en rou, bring die naald en gare, Heer kom tog, maak net gou.” (p.234) Daar was tye wat sy intens met die Here geworstel het, kwaad was, ontnugter en teleurgesteld, maar haar geloof het staande gebly en haar staande gehou.
Ek sal nie so voorbarig wees om te sê dat ek kan verstaan nie. My eie verliese was nog nie so teen die normale verloop van ouderdom nie. Ek het wel as ‘n pad gestap saam met ’n vriendin wat self ’n dogter moes afstaan, gehelp met troosbedieninge, maar selfs dit gee mens net ’n oppervlakkige verstaan van sulke pyn en verplettering. Anderkant die water help wel om so ’n klein bietjie meer begrip te kry.
The Memories Across Time is a heartfelt novel about family history, traditions & faith.
The Memories Across Time is a heartfelt novel about family history, faith, and the search for identity. Kiril Kristoff weaves the past and present together, inviting readers to consider how the lives and choices of earlier generations can shape the people who come after them.
The story’s exploration of ancestry and heritage gives it emotional depth, while its historical setting brings a wider world to life. At its heart are questions many readers can relate to: Where do we come from? What do we inherit from our families? And what can learning about the past teach us about ourselves?
I recommend this book.

*Going Dutch* is a class of its own. I would like to thank Obie. Rarely have I encountered such an extraordinary book of South Africa (and the Netherlands). It adds a great deal to what I knew. Obie's stories, encounters, photographs, the history of the country and the relationship with the Netherlands — it is all remarkably multifaceted. At times, reading and viewing it was an emotional experience. Hans de Jong - "Platland"/Netherlands.
