I’m a software developer who has spent many years developing all kinds of applications. I wanted a book that would explore the many considerations and decisions that software architects need to make and the techniques they use to go about their job. This book did not disappoint and was well worth the purchase.The book does not focus on any particular programming language or development framework (although there are some code samples in C# just to explain some points). Instead, the book concentrates on software architecture and development in general and I appreciated the fact that it did not emphasize a specific technology that I may not even be using. Because of this, I think this book has a wide appeal and will be relevant for many software developers and architects.As an experienced developer, there were some topics that I was already familiar with and there were others that were new to me, which was expected. I found the book to be very insightful and it gave me new ideas, things to look for, and concepts that I can apply to my projects. The book is large and has good coverage of many topics. As you can imagine, some of the topics could be the subject of an entire book (or books) all by themselves, and this book inspired me to explore some of those topics even further.Highly recommended.

Great book thanks

Daniel Correa Jan 08, 2021

This is a great book which contains a lot of concepts and ideas.This book gives you a ride around the main elements that a software architect should consider and learn. This is great for people who already have a little of experience developing software. Because it show you the important things to consider when you are an architect, or part of a software project.It gives you recommendations about: maintenance, requirements, quality attributes, tests, software architectures and patterns, software principles, DevOps, cross-cutting concers, security, working on a team, leading a team, soft skills, and many more.However, there are many topics which contains only a paragraph. So, this book is more like a guide to go to learn different topics (in deep) in other books.CONS:There are only a few examples (codes). So, maybe this book is not recommend for novice developers or architects. Not recommended for people which are looking for a practical book.For example, it gives you a lot of recommendations about how to implement a MVC architecture or micro-services, but you never will find a piece of code which shows a real MVC architecture.

The author is very experienced and he has a wonderful way to explain very complex and details of this profession in a very simplistic matter. It was a lot of help for me, and I think anybody that it is thinking seriously to become more proficient on there software planning and Software Architect, should take a deep read on this book. :)
