Description:Strategies for building large systems that can be easily adapted for new situations with only minor programming modifications.Time pressures encourage programmers to write code that works well for a narrow purpose, with no room to grow. But the best systems are evolvable; they can be adapted for new situations by adding code, rather than changing the existing code. The authors describe techniques they have found effective--over their combined 100-plus years of programming experience--that will help programmers avoid programming themselves into corners.The authors explore ways to enhance flexibility by: - Organizing systems using combinators to compose mix-and-match parts, ranging from small functions to whole arithmetics, with standardized interfaces - Augmenting data with independent annotation layers, such as units of measurement or provenance - Combining independent pieces of partial information using unification or propagation - Separating control structure from problem domain with domain models, rule systems and pattern matching, propagation, and dependency-directed backtracking - Extending the programming language, using dynamically extensible evaluatorsWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
