The term was popularized three years later by the book AntiPatterns, which extended its use beyond the field of software design to refer informally to any commonly reinvented but bad solution to a problem. Examples include analysis paralysis, cargo cult programming, death march, groupthink and vendor lock-in.

Ultimate Quality Development System is key to software project Twisted's ability to release stable, reliable code.

In the world of software management there exists a dread place called "dependency hell." The bigger your system grows and the more packages you integrate into your software, the more likely you are to find yourself, one day, in this pit of despair.

This page provides guidelines for version numbering your software.

In this article series, I will define three of the primary object-oriented principles and show how to reach them through the five S.O.L.I.D. design principles.
