Summary: An essential three-volume reference on Application Framework
Review: This three-volume reference is a good collection of articles that provide theoretical concepts and practical experience in designing, implementing, and documenting application frameworks. Volume 1, "Building Application Frameworks", addresses several problematic topics crucial to the success of object-oriented application frameworks. It presents a complete reference on how to develop a good application framework and provides guidelines for dealing with issues related to application frameworks. Volume 2, "Implementing Application Frameworks", illustrates the development and use of frameworks technology in several domains, such as business, artificial intelligence, agents, tools, environments, and system applications. It describes diverse application frameworks and discusses real-world experience. Volume 3, "Domain-Specific Application Frameworks", provides valuable insight into successful application framework examples. All the material is presented in a practical, easy-to-understand manner. I strongly recommend this three-volume reference for anybody planning to use the hottest technologies related to software reuse, frameworks, in the software development process.
