Enterprise Architecture
Monday, February 14th, 2005 | Development
I just finished reading Fowler’s Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture, the last Christmas present I still had to finish. I can’t seem to help feeling that it misses its audience in part with its narratives, depicting different aspects of enterprise programming, and even then all of a sudden go back to text-book descriptions of atomicity in transaction handling for threading. Very odd.
As usual, Fowler notes that he just records the patterns he has witnessed and everyone experienced in enterprise architecture will know these already, and it is rightfully so, so no mark against him there. Now, the Java crowd seems rather enamoured by the OR-mappings and being from that crowd, Fowler recounts those patterns. I am rather ambivalent on its merit, both the book’s and OR-mappings’, so I think I will settle with suggesting this book to newcomers to enterprise development, as a quick introduction to some of the more recurring patterns in the field.
