I’m finishing up an expert report for a patent case that I’m working on, so I haven’t been able to push forward with PMSE. However, I am posting a PDF of Chapter 2 from the original Pitfalls of Object-Oriented Development (M&T Books, 1995). This should be useful for those of you interested in contributing to PMSE, because it pretty much established the layout and presentation of the pitfalls, as well as the tone of the overall work. On the other hand, please forgive the formatting glitches; I just don’t have time to clean them up right now.
Hope you find this useful, one way or the other; if there’s enough demand, I may post most of the original Pitfalls (there are a few sections which, 13 years after I finished the book, are dated). Let me know. ..bruce..
