DESCRIPTION:
. Plauger is one of the original users of the C programming language
Deirdre Saoirse Moen said A classic and worth the price. If I had to own one book on software design, this would be it. Everywhere I've taken it, people have wondered if some of the examples were "their company." It was introduced to me by a former boss and is easily worth 10x the price of all the courses in "design" I had. Most design is done backwards. DeMarco explains why that is.. Dave Johnson said Still very valuable.. I first read this book when it was new, and it made a world of difference in my results. In addition, I was introduced to distributed system design and finite state machines at about the same time, and that turned out to be a genuine winning combination.Some of the difficulties of Demarco's approach are tied into the use of single-threaded code, which was entirely normal at the time, but in the distributed, event-driven world, one escapes those design constraints, and then dataflow diagrams really come into their own. They work best when the processing nodes in a da. Changed the way I look at programming This book offers data flow as a simple and powerful metaphor for programming. The idea is this: look at a program as a black box that takes information in and spews information out, then at each stage refine this black box by breaking it out into individual ones. I read this book many years ago and it remains the most useful book on program design that I have read. It was written before object oriented programming but it adapts to it in an obvious way. Forget about UML. Data flow is the best way of presenting the elusive big picture view, that view of the forest tha
