Software architect bootcamp

Insights and solutions for software architects to their most vexing problems. Topics covered include indentifying the best model for any project, executing heavyweight or lightweight approaches to software architecture, and addressing scalability. Softcover. This hands-on "field manual" gives software developers all the skills they need to become great software architects: everything from proven design patterns to prototyping, business cases and leadership techniques.The authors review every critical challenge associated with successfully architecting today's distributed computing systems, demonstrating how to avoid time-consuming pitfalls and costly errors from the outset. Discover proven methods for identifying the best architectural model for any project -- and learn how to implement them using design patterns reflecting the experiences of the world's best architects. Learn how to create a business case for software architecture; then develop the skills software architects need to become true technical leaders in their organization, from presentations to team-building, and beyond. Software Architecture includes war stories from the frontlines, a glossary of key terminology -- and above all, practical solutions scalable and flexible enough to deliver true competitive advantage. "Architects Raphael Malveau and Thomas Mowbray share profound insights and practical solutions for all the key challenges of architectures using objects, components, and distributed Internet computing, showing how to avoid time-consuming pitfalls and costly errors. You'll master proven methods for: identifying the best architectural model for any project; executing heavyweight or lightweight approaches to software architecture; addressing scalability and long-term business flexibility; making the most of abstraction, refactoring, and architectural prototyping; and leveraging superior design patterns to improve your implementations."--Jacket Raphael Malveau, Thomas J.
