“In his forward to Perry Alexander's System Level Design with Rosetta, Grant Martin observes that “every new language seems to require at least one book be written to promote understanding and further interest and use, so [for Rosetta] this milestone has now been achieved.” Alexander, one of the fathers of the Rosetta language, has produced what may prove to be the seminal text on Rosetta, and one that helps it move from an academic exercise to a real-world language. The book is packed with clear code examples that explain all the language’s elements, both individually and in combination. Inasmuch as Rosetta represents more than a simple language but also a methodology, that methodology is also clearly detailed. Anyone who’s curious about Rosetta and, indeed, interested in a holistic approach to system-level design, should find this volume highly useful.”— David Maliniak, Electronic Design Online, December 18, 2006
