Any book suggestion on enterprise application framework or API design ? but not just on design patterns .
Thanks
A:
In the .NET world you should really check 'Framework Design Guidelines' by Cwalina and Abrams http://www.amazon.com/Framework-Design-Guidelines-Conventions-Libraries/dp/0321545613/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1286948204&sr=1-1

I'm not sure whether this is the sort of thing that you're looking for, and the advice that it gives is very specific to .NET, but Framework Design Guidelines is an excellent book.
There's also a cut-down version of it available for free on MSDN -- Design Guidelines for Developing Class Libraries -- so you can try before you buy.

I am a java developer ? Will it be helpful to read it ?

Hmmm, probably not... I doubt that the actual concrete recommendations will be useful because they're very much focused on the style and idiom of the .NET framework. The more philosophical areas would probably be helpful, but I imagine there are probably better books out there covering that sort of thing. Why don't you take a look at the MSDN version and see what you think?

There's Practical API Design written by the guy behind much of the NetBeans component and services APIs. I have not read it yet, however.
