Resource materials for 427
This is a list of some of the books relevant to this course. It may evolve as the course progresses.
Books
Unfortunately, not all of these are available in the physical sciences [[1]]. Wals library contains some of the missing ones.
Currently, few of these books are on reserve. If contention becomes a problem, we will change them to 3 day loan.
| Book page | Title | Synopsis | Library |
| Alan Davis 1995 | 201 principles of software development, | A long list of principles, more about software engineering than design, but overlapping Cosc427. | PSL |

| Cay Horstmann 2002 | Object-oriented design & patterns | Introductory OO and patterns book, with some insights on low-level design issues, such as the use of equals() in the presence of inheritance. | Wal |
| PLOP One 1995 | Pattern languages of program design | First patterns conference | PSL |
| Robert Cecil Martin 2003 | UML for Java programmers | Good, readable, opinionated introductory UML book. Notable for discussion of OOD principles. (See Bob Martin's web site too.) | PSL, Wal |
| Mitchell and McKim 2002 | Design by contract, by example | This is a good intro to DBC, if you don't mind reading Eiffel code examples. | Wal |
