From APIDesign

I created this website when the Practical API Design book (describing all the design mistakes I did when designing NetBeans) was published to be a source of latest on-line news from the world of API Design. I still publish my observations about APIDesignPatterns or various APITypes, but I am also trying to cover other projects of mine like Bck2Brwsr or DukeScript. Here is the overview of most recent topics that I blogged about:

Theory Feeling the Pain! The Genetics of an APIDesign The Science of APIDesign Adding DefaultMethods in a 100% BackwardCompatible Way! Never Update (API) Tests!

Practical Design Marketing Version Do not Expose Deep Hierarchies! Using record on any JDK! 2021: Code VSCode UI in Java Bck2Brwsr 0.50: Ready for 2021 Technologies

Apache Projects can Distribute GPLwithClassPathException components! Never forget to add GradleWrapper! Micronaut Brings Compile Time Annotations to JavaEE Developers Spreading Malware Twenty Years: Sun Microsystems Acquires NetBeans

Anyway I'll be thankful if you decide to read the Practical API Design book. Here is few reasons why to do it: Have You Ever Wondered?
