example of well designed softwares
-
Hi, I'm searching for some open source software that is well designed and is designed for flexibility. I'd like to study the source to understand how a well designed system is structured and developed. I've read some books about design but the example are always small and self-contained. So I'd like to see how that work in a mid-big sized project that have different modules interacting. If you people know any of this, could you please post the name or the link of the software. If they're written in c#/java and well documented would be a plus. Or if you have the name of some book on the argument maybe that cover a big software case study it would be even better. Hope my english is understandable. ;)

I would suspect that is a myth. Applications, which are successful, grow over time and compromises are made based on real time problems. And although solutions work they are not always implemented ideally. And because of such problems were not known with the initial design then the design might need to be worked around. Something similar occurs with libraries. Libraries however might be less impacted by this if the the functionalit in the library is disparate enough. Both are also impacted by the desires and/or experience of those that work on it over time.

I'd like to study the source to understand how a well designed system is structured and developed.The only example that comes to mind is Linux.

Always specific to the system, it's not like there's "one ideal solution".

Spring .Net (http://www.springframework.net/overview.html[^]) might be worth looking at.
