Essential Software Architecture (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Job titles like "Technical Architect" and "Chief Architect" nowadays abound in the software industry, yet many people suspect that "architecture" is one of the most overused and least understood terms in professional software development. In contrast, this book concisely describes and defines the essential elements of knowledge and key skills required to be a software architect. The explanations encompass the essentials of architecture thinking, practices, and supporting technologies, ranging from a general understanding of software structure and quality attributes, through technical issues like middleware components and documentation techniques, to emerging technologies like model-driven architecture, software product lines, aspect-oriented design, service-oriented architectures, and the Semantic Web, all of which will influence future software system architectures.

Rezensionen

From the reviews of the second edition:

Choice - Oustanding Academic Title in 2012

"The volume is organized in three main parts, the first of which provides a comprehensive but clear definition of software architecture. The second and third parts are devoted to current and emerging practices, respectively. ... This book will be of great help to students of computer science or software engineering, but above all it will provide practitioners with a guide to architecture that they can adopt to help direct their careers and professional development. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above." (L. Benedicenti, Choice, Vol. 49 (5), January, 2012)

"A subset of the software system architecture discipline is discussed in this book. ... Gorton begins with an overall description of what he calls 'the subdiscipline known as software architecture.' ... useful in the technical library of a large financial institution for those engaged in major systems development and evolution." (Mordechai Ben-Menachem, ACM Computing Reviews, January, 2012)
