    About this audiobook

    Salary surveys worldwide regularly place software architect in the top 10 best jobs, yet no real guide exists to help developers become architects. Until now. This book provides the first comprehensive overview of software architecture's many aspects. Aspiring and existing architects alike will examine architectural characteristics, architectural patterns, component determination, diagramming and presenting architecture, evolutionary architecture, and many other topics.

    Mark Richards and Neal Ford-hands-on practitioners who have taught software architecture classes professionally for years-focus on architecture principles that apply across all technology stacks. You'll explore software architecture in a modern light, taking into account all the innovations of the past decade.

    This book examines:

    Architecture patterns: The technical basis for many architectural decisions
    Components: Identification, coupling, cohesion, partitioning, and granularity
    Soft skills: Effective team management, meetings, negotiation, presentations, and more
    Modernity: Engineering practices and operational approaches that have changed radically in the past few years
    Architecture as an engineering discipline: Repeatable results, metrics, and concrete valuations that add rigor to software architecture

    Author

    Mark Richards

    Mark Richards' transition from full-time farmer to full-time outdoor writer has been a gradual one. In 1973, with the direct encouragement of Alfred Wainwright, he wrote his first walking guide to the Cotswold Way. Since then he has indulged his pleasure in exploring rural Britain by creating a range of walking guides. In 1980 he began his three-part guide to the Peak District for Cicerone Press, and in 1987, with Chris Wright, wrote a guide to walking around the former county of Westmorland. This book sowed the seeds of a dream, to be fulfilled some 14 years later, when he and his wife moved to Cumbria. Here he developed a passion for the finest of all walking landscapes, held within and around this marvellous county. Mark has written a Cicerone guide to Great Mountain Days in the Lake District and, after many years of dedicated research, completed his Lakeland Fellranger series of eight guides covering the entire region in 2013. Now living in what was once the Barony of Gilsland, Mark is also close to Hadrian's Wall, enabling him to renew a fascination first kindled when he prepared a guide to walking the Wall in 1993. He has also published a guide to the Wall for Cicerone.

      My first book in programming architecture. Definitely liked it. Special thanks to Narrator. I consider the Narrator the Second Author of the book. Because in great extent it's thanks to Him - will the listener like the book or not. This Narrator is ideal for this Book.
