Effective Software Architecture

Leverage software architecture as an effective tool for product development and build better software faster.   Effective Software Architecture is the essential handbook for making software architecture an effective practice within product development organizations and processes while putting whole software teams on the same page. Industry elite Oliver Goldman provides a comprehensive perspective on the set of real-world skills and practices this work requires: a predictable, repeatable design process; the ability to make decisions expediently and effectively; a comprehensive and consistent communication strategy; tools that promote efficiency; and a team that is greater than the sum of its parts.   Goldman's engaging prose articulates why software architecture is essential to building great software products, release after release. Rather than focusing on a specific architectural style or technology, this book's goal is to make software architects better at managing change, design, decision making, and team communication while helping software product managers, program managers, UX designers, and other team members understand how architecture functions within the software development process. Goldman's work is essential to helping the whole team achieve success.   Understand software architecture and its role in product developmentLearn to effectively communicate about software architectureEmploy architectural strategies for consistent, reliable design resultsMake architecture an integral aspect of product developmentIntegrate architectural thinking into whole development organizations   Effective Software Architecture is a guide for making software architecture an effective tool for product development.   Register your book for convenient access to downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available.
