James and Neil's book!
""This is a remarkably wise book, full of pragmatic advice drawn
from real projects. Ultimately, software development is a human
experience, and Jim and Neil have captured the essence of that
experience in this work. The tapestry of patterns they have woven
is postively brillant, and each thread therein is a delight to
read.""
--Grady Booch, IBM Fellow
