  • "In that case, developers using it will

create a feeling way different that conflicts with the architect's intentions." does not make such sense.

  • There are no page numbers on this section
  • Punc: Para 2: Delete comma after API - it's not necessary
  • Content: Para 2: This is the perfect place to hint at some counter-examples of consistency in Java... unfortunately, I'm having some trouble coming up with examples right now! (things like A.size(), B.size(), C.getSize(), or A.toInt(), B.toInt(), C.getInt() or something)
  • Spacing: Para "A Stable API" - is there an extra space before "API is stable" in italics?
  • References: Para "If you believe" - "Part __" missing Part numbers (twice).

  • I agree with Jesse's comment that the last sentence in the first paragraph doesn't make sense. I'd perhaps suggest "In that case, developers will use it in a way that conflicts with the architect's intentions".
  • (wording) para 1: "the API architect is an artist..." => "the API architect is either an artist..."
  • (wording) para 2: "the API users" => "the API's users"
  • (spelling) first page, last paragraph: "deja vu" => "déjà vu"

  • "I found proof this a year later" should be "I found proof of this a year later"

  • If the anecdote in "Design By Committee" refers to xml-tree, then that external developer was me, soon after university and very green on APIs :-)
    • I did not know, that is cute.
