Concise review of good design,
By
This review is from: Object-Oriented Metrics in Practice: Using Software Metrics to Characterize, Evaluate, and Improve the Design of Object-Oriented Systems (Paperback)
Pretty good book on using metrics to guide refactoring of design. The authors use combinations of metrics to find code smells, or what they call "disharmonies". It's quick, only about 160 pages, but definitely worth it. Very good read.
