Yet Another Design Book?

Revision as of 22:34, 27 March 2008 by AdamDingle (Talk | contribs)

Is there a space before [GoF]?
Notice [book.effective] towards end of paragpraph
Grammar: Page 1, 3rd paragraph, change to "Despite that, the API clients that compiled their code then are still able to execute their code TODAY, even with the latest versions of those libraries."
Punctuation: Page 1, Paragraph 4 - should use dash instead of comma between "the code, that is"
Spelling: Page 1, Para 4 - "Overtime" should be "Over time" ("Overtime" is what you get paid when you work too many hours)

I'd love to have one extra historical tidbit in the introduction somewhere: what's the origin of the term API? I first remember hearing it in the early 90's, but it's possibly older than that. I spent some time searching using Google, but came up empty-handed. Can you research this?
(spelling) I'd prefer seeing a hyphen in the term "object-oriented" throughout the text.
(spelling) paragraph 3: "decade old" => "decade-old"
