Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture #2
Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture, Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects
Designing application and middleware software to run in concurrent and networked environments is a significant challenge to software developers. The patterns catalogued in this second volume of Pattern-Oriented Software Architectures (POSA) form the basis of a pattern language that addresses issues associated with concurrency and networking.
The book presents 17 interrelated patterns ranging from idioms through architectural designs. They cover core elements of building concurrent and network systems: service access and configuration, event handling, synchronization,
and concurrency. All patterns present extensive examples and known uses in multiple programming languages, including C++, C, and Java.
The book can be used to tackle specific software development problems or read from cover to cover to provide a fundamental understanding of the best practices for constructing concurrent and networked applications and middleware.
About the Authors
This book has been written by the award winning team responsible for the first POSA volume "A System of Patterns," joined in this volume by Douglas C. Schmidt from University of California, Irvine (UCI), USA.

Interesting, but not concise.

Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture by Douglas C. Schmidt это книга о том, как не надо писать много-функциональные дистрибьютивные приложения.
Если бы один мой знакомый, хороший программер, не спросил меня об этой книге, то я не узнал бы, что в 2011 году кто-то собирается читать/изучать этот мусор.
Автор (в очередной раз) пытается "продать" свою библиотеку ACE and TAO под красивым названием.
Мне жаль программистов, которые в свое время бесполезно и бестолково потратили время на C++ и ACE. Их проекты мертвые, их знания никому не нужны.
Про чудовище под названием ACE молодое поколение даже не слышало. C++ агонизирует. ООП превратилось в анекдот. На серьезных проектах m$ форточки не используются.
На вопрос: "А что же делать? Что почитать по теме? В какую технологию вкладывать силы и время?" - ответ простой. Посмотрите что делают успешные проекты и фирмы, и работайте в том же направлении.
Сегодня много доступной информации по инфраструктуре и проектам Google, FB, Twitter, Flikr и т.д.
Рекомендация: Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture не читать и не листать!!!

Well, I didn't like it. I guess this is a very important book, but I couldn't find the style pleasing.
The original patterns book was written in dry style, kind like a doctoral thesis, dense in concepts. This has the opposite problem, the patterns are much more extensively explained, with more examples, more relationship with other patterns, much more in-depth. What this makes is that I understand the patterns worse, because I grow tired of reading about the same. The original book had 23 patterns in 400 pages, this one has 16 patterns in 666 pages.
I still think it's a must read for somebody working in these domains, but not an easy read.

The style of writing is a bit dry but the insights I've gained are worth it.
