In Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs you'll learn from costly mistakes that Tomasz Lelek and Jon Skeet have encountered over their impressive careers. You'll explore real-world scenarios where poor understanding of tradeoffs lead to major problems down the road, to help you make better design decisions. Plus, with a little practice, you'll be able to avoid the pitfalls that trip up even the most experienced developers. Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs teaches you how to make better decisions about designing, planning, and implementing applications. You'll analyse real-world scenarios where the wrong tradeoff decisions were made, and discover what could have been done differently. The book lays out the pros and cons of different approaches and explores evergreen patterns that will always be relevant to software design. Code performance versus simplicity. Delivery speed versus duplication. Flexibility versus maintain ability-everydecision you make in software engineering involves balancing tradeoffs. Often, decisions that look good at the design stage can prove problematic in practice.This book reveals the questions you need to be asking to make the right decisions for your own software tradeoffs.
Tomasz Lelek has years of experience working with various production services, architectures, and programming languages. He has designed systems that handle tens of millions of unique users and hundreds of thousands of operations per second. Currently, he designs developer tools for DataStax, a company that builds products around Cassandra Database. Jon Skeet is a staff developer relations engineer at Google, currently working on the Google Cloud Client Libraries for.NET. His contributions to open source include the NodaTime date and time library for .NET, and he's famous for his contributions to Stack Overflow. Jonis also the author of Manning's C# in Depth, currently in its fourth edition.
