good boook on software design

What boook do you guys recommend for somebody with the software
development backgroud who wants to get started from scratch with the
designing of good sofware application. I am interested in understanding
how the logical and physical design of a software is prepared. Details
about the design patterns and the application blocks; and how and when
they should be used.

I would really appreciate if you guys can recommend some good boook
that you must have read or still refer to ... something you think is a
must read for all aspiring software developers planning to become
future project leads

Thanks

A good starting point is the McConnell three:
The Software Project Survival Guide
Rapid Development
Code Complete

The first book is very high level, the second on project management and the
third on rules for good software development practice.

Moving to patterns, I would look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/practices/.
Good patterns on a variety of levels. http://www.dofactory.com/ is also a
good site with some code (C#).

Thanks for the great selection .... I read the reviews for all of them
and they all are the best sellers. I am thinking about buying the code
complete 2nd edition today itself so that I have something to read over
the weekend ...
Thanks alot

Go away for a few days and you miss it all... A few opinions... Programming is a craft more than an art (software engineering, not black magic) and as such, is about writing code that works, first and foremost. If it works well, even better. The same goes for ease of maintenance, memory footprint, speed, etc, etc. Most of the time, people are writing code for a use in the *real world*, and not just as an academic exercise. Look at...

Several months ago I started a thread with the title "What is/is not considered to be good OO programming" which started a long and interesting discussion. I have condensed the arguments into a single article which can be viewed at http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/good-bad-oop.html I fully expect this to be the start of another flame war, so sharpen your knives and get stuck in!

Hi group, I have a couple of projects with up to 8 forms. On most projects I write the code on each form with no modules. The last project I use 1 module and minimal code on each form , in fact just the code for each visual object, and all the subroutines are placed in a module. What is the best practice where I can place my VB code, at each form or in a separate module ? Pro's & con's ? Performance benefit ?

I know this is a tall order, but I'm looking for a book that talks about the implications of alternative approaches to languages than we typically see, such as allowing multiple inheritance... detailed, but not so heavy that the interesting, qualitative conclusions are left to the reader to dig out of a set of equations. Any recommendations? Bob

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
