AntiPatterns clarify the negative patterns that cause development roadblocks due to poor management, lack of architectural control or personality clashes. The AntiPatterns book shows how to detect and defuse 40 of the most common AntiPatterns. Each AntiPattern provides a refactored solution for both the symptoms and the cause(s). The books classifies the AntiPatterns into: * Managerial (managing processes and people) * Architectural (defining a technical strategy) * Developmental (coding practices)
