I am always fascinated by API designer, its always a black magic. Whenever i use some core java library, I wonder how the people design those API. I am trying to explore that black magic.
Fantastic read for advanced level programmers with a good core understanding of fundamentals. Reads like advice from an experienced colleague and feels rational rather than preachy. Could be improved by demonstrating the theory in other languages, but perhaps that's better left for another author to explore
A new way of designing application, in line with latest trends (open source, component design...)
Awesome book if you wanna know what API design is all about
Nice book if you are building *any* API
Great reference on API design
