	Refactoring with Martin Fowler
		Martin Fowler, chief scientist at Thoughtworks, Inc. and author of numerous books on software design and process, talks with Bill Venners about refactoring, testing, and design.
		In this initial installment, Fowler makes the business case for refactoring and testing, and describes the interplay between refactoring, design, and reliability.
		Martin Fowler: Refactoring is making changes to a body of code in order to improve its internal structure, without changing its external behavior.

		Fowler is an excellent student of M. Odell, and it's high time that Odell's thinking was made accessible to the domain analyst.
		Fowler's book is general enough to get across the point that it is how we think about the problem that is the important part of modeling, and not some arcane "modelling process" that is significant to methodologists.

		Martin Fowler has extraordinary insight, and I enjoy reading his papers for the gems of thought I find.
		Fowler filled the book with page after page of the detailed Refactoring method applied to a problem he acknowledged as too simple for application of Refactoring.
		Although you might find Fowler's catalog of refactorings rather dry and many integrated development environments automate them nowadays, thus making Fowler's recipes unnecessary, it is fair to recognize the milestone this book marked when it was first published a few years ago.

		Martin Fowler is a brand name for lucid ("UML distilled"), maturity enhancing ("Refactoring" for the practical side and the great "Analysis Patterns" for the modeling side) top notch books for software professionals.
		Fowler distills the various approaches to their essence, clearly presents the tradeoffs and defines an intuitive vocabulary to make it easier for development teams to discuss how the patterns apply to their unique application.
		Fowler says you should read 1-8 then the patterns as needed, but I say the 8 pages of chapter 8 roll up the first seven chapters very nicely, and then please read all the patterns in associative order from your point of view.

		Fowler’s solutions run the gamut, from defining your application’s layers and organizing its business logic to organizing web presentations (tip: If you’re already using the MVC pattern, you just might be getting it wrong).
		The author, noted object-oriented designer Martin Fowler, noticed that despite changes in technology--from Smalltalk to CORBA to Java to.NET--the same basic design ideas can be adapted and applied to solve common problems.

		Fowler approaches these chapters by starting with a simple model and repeatedly expanding on this model to fit more and more complex needs.
		However, this is Fowler's first book and it lacks the polish of his more recent other books -- in a few spots it was hard for me to follow the author's train of thought.
		Martin Fowler is a pioneer in applying object technology to business information systems.

		Martin's career is aimed at answering the question, "What is good design?" He seeks an answer that is more than just fuzzy words and fuzzy ideas.
		Martin came to see that the only way to design well is to program at the same time, and the only way to program well is to design at the same time.

		Martin should have talked more about these tools and the patterns they currently implemented instead as this is a more pragmatic approach.
		Martin also doesn't talk about the load-on-startup servlet that can be used to store application-scoped values in the ServletContext (for J2EE systems) in his Registry pattern.
		As usual, Fowler manages to be a model of clarity, while still injecting regular touches of wry humour, quite an achievement given the potentially bone-dry material.

	InfoQ: Introduction to Domain Specific Languages
		In this JAOO conference talk, Martin Fowler introduces a simple example of DSL, bringing out the difference between external and internal DSLs, and talking through the trade-offs in using both forms.
		Martin Fowler is one of our industry's most well known thought leaders having had an influence in the adoption of OO, refactoring, patterns, agile methodologies, domain modeling, UML, and XP.
		Fowler rightly mentioned Lisp as a language for creating DSLs, but I was surprised that he did not mention Smalltalk.

		This is particularly puzzling because Fowler claims it's very important to test everything constantly -- and it is obvious these classes cannot be tested because they cannot compile.
		CONCLUSION: the information Fowler has to impart would be useful for those who don't know it; but typically these will be beginning programmers, and they may well be confounded by the broken example code at the beginning of the book.
		That lets Fowler get on with his real business, which is to systematize the knowledge and regularize the process of choosing a technique to use.

	Opinion: Martin Fowler's First Law of Distribution
		Mr Fowler demonstrates a further lack of understanding by stating that his preferred solution is to write all code as local code with nice interfaces to run on one JVM and then use clustering to get scaling
		Fowler's argument (which I agree to) is just the other way around: why bother with pontentially hard to design trendy distributed system if a colocated, clustered system would do the same job for you.
		Much of Fowler's rules, advice, and examples tend to be simplistic and focus on just one or two pieces of a complex problem.
