API Design with Java is book-in-progress filled with guidelines that will help you improve your designs. It is a companion to Object Design with Java.

To read online versions of the book, which I'll be posting as I write, visit the Table of Contents.

September 7, 2002 - Once again I have refactored this project. It is now a series of two books. The first book in the series, Object Design, will be focused narrowly on guidelines that will help you design good objects. Book two, API Design, will have guidelines that relate to larger aspects of organizing APIs, such as relationships between classes, composition and inheritance, interfaces, patterns.
