''Patterns of enterprise application architecture'' by Martin Fowler, 2003.
 +
 
 +
This is a must-have book for anyone working on "enterprise applications", which used to be known as "information systems", or (for old farts) "data processing".  The patterns cover topics such as complex data, concurrency, persistence, distribution, and user interfaces.
 +
 
 +
The book is in two parts: Part 1 is a narrative that motivates and explains the patterns; part 2 is a catalogue.
 +
 
 +
The UML diagrams are [[http://www.martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/|on-line]].

Martin Fowler's architectural patterns book

Patterns of enterprise application architecture by Martin Fowler, 2003.

This is a must-have book for anyone working on "enterprise applications", which used to be known as "information systems", or (for old farts) "data processing". The patterns cover topics such as complex data, concurrency, persistence, distribution, and user interfaces.

The book is in two parts: Part 1 is a narrative that motivates and explains the patterns; part 2 is a catalogue.

The UML diagrams are [[1]].

Domain logic patterns

TransactionScriptPattern Organizes business logic by procedures where each procedure handles a single request from the presentation.
DomainModelPattern An object model of the domain that incorporates both behavior and data.
TableModulePattern A single instance that handles the business logic for all rows in a database table or view.
ServiceLayerPattern Defines an application's boundary with a layer of services that establishes a set of available operations and coordinates the application's response in each.

Data source architectural patterns

TableDataGatewayPattern An object that acts as a Gateway to a database table. One instance handles all the rows in the table.
RowDataGatewayPattern An object that acts as a Gateway to a single record in a data source. There is one instance per row.
ActiveRecordPattern An object that wraps a row in a database table or view, encapsulates the database access, and adds domain logic on that data.
DataMapperPattern A layer of Mappers that moves data between objects and a database while keeping them independent of each other and the mapper itself.
