My books at Universities

It is nice to see that some of the books I (co-)authored are picked up as teaching material in universities. An important criterion when deciding on which topics to write a book was that I wanted to write something that has a conceptual angle to it; I wouldn't like to write a book that 'just' describes some API or technology (although such books are obviously useful, and I have many of them on my shelf). If a book is used for teaching, it obviously has to have that conceptual angle. That's why I am happy that the material is picked up for teaching.

Here are a couple of examples. The Remoting Patterns book is used by California Polytechnic State University is a course on Distributed Computing. Jeff Gray's group at the University of Alabama at Birmingham use the MDSD book in a course on Model-Driven Software Development. Also, a number of german universities use the german edition of the MDSD book: examples include a course at Uni Freiburg and one at FU Berlin
