"Uncle Bob" opines on the agile way to develop software. Actually, a better title for this book might be "Applied Software Patterns with Java, with some agile practices thrown in". While the beginning of the book does discuss some agile techniques such as test-driven development, much of the book

is really about design patterns in Java. There's a lot of source code here, which is a refreshing change from books like GoF which describe a design pattern but don't have the space to show it in the context of a real application. On the other hand, it can be tough reading through all of that source code.
