Good solid book on software architecture

This book was the textbook for a introduction course to software architecture. I found the textbook quite helpful in learning architectural principles. The core chapters of the book are the first 6 chapters, which provided a strong foundation of knowledge. Chapter 1 introduces the topic by discussing architecture definition, abstraction, views and non-functional requirements plus others. Chapter 2 introduces the study...

I think the information is well worth the read because all good knowledge comes from cognitive work. I personally found that the best way to read this book was to relate that topics that were being discussed...

See UML 2 applied to architecture specification

Get this book if you're interested in seeing UML 2 applied to software architecture specification. In any case, it gives a good overview of architecting with emerging technologies as well as state-of-the-industry middleware.

Practical and timely

My Master's project deals with Software Architecture best practices and I turned to this book to help formulate my thoughts. The chapter on Middleware architectures is a valuable read and serves as a unifying framework for thinking about middleware in the architectural sense. The case study used in the book is helpful as well. Overall, you will find this book an excellent introduction to Software Architecture (with a nice...
