Description

Are you a seasoned developer who likes to add value to a project beyond just writing code? Have you realized that good development practices are not enough to make a project successful, and you now want to embrace the bigger picture in the IT landscape? If so, you're ready to become a software architect; someone who can deal with any IT stakeholder as well as add value to the numerous dimensions of software development. The sheer volume of content on software architecture can be overwhelming, however. Software Architecture for Busy Developers is here to help. Written by Stéphane Eyskens, author of The Azure Cloud Native Mapbook, this book guides you through your software architecture journey in a pragmatic way using real-world scenarios. By drawing on over 20 years of consulting experience, Stéphane will help you understand the role of a software architect, without the fluff or unnecessarily complex theory. You'll begin by understanding what non-functional requirements mean and how they concretely impact target architecture. The book then covers different frameworks used across the entire enterprise landscape with the help of use cases and examples. Finally, you'll discover ways in which the cloud is becoming a game changer in the world of software architecture. By the end of this book, you'll have gained a holistic understanding of the architectural landscape, as well as more specific software architecture skills. You'll also be ready to pursue your software architecture journey on your own - and in just one weekend!

A comprehensive book covering all the fundamental topics in a logical and structured format. It also contains core concepts about architecture frameworks, designs and patterns. Very useful for people who want to understand, improve and learn architecture frameworks better.I find the book straight to the point, easy to read, and covering multiple complex s architecture frameworks in a very clear and understandable way starting from the introduction and after scaling up.It allows people to understand how large enterprises interact with software architecture and which approach to take. I would not recommend this book for beginners because prior knowledge in the field is highly advisable so people can take most of the book.

Software Architecture for Busy Developers is very well written and concise, and uses real world examples to make it very easy to understand the conecpts presented,whether you are a seasoned developer or just getting started. If you are looking to progress from coding to a position of more responsibility in the field ofsoftware development, this book is a must have. Learning to see the 30,000 foot view of the IT field is not something that most developers are aware of, but itis essential to be able to see the big picture as it relates to software development if you are wanting to move up to a more challenging position in your company.Stephane will guide you step by step (or line by line) as the case may be, to help you to be able to be successful in your software architecture career from the start. As always, Packt delivers with another valuable resource for software developers.

The title for this work implies that you are getting the shortcut into something difficult. Eyskens doesn’t provide any shortcuts that I saw, more like the wave tops on the deeper ocean involved with software architecture. The book covers critical aspects of architecture from strategic design, to the actual .Net implementation of various concepts. Like all good software examples, the work links to a GitHub repo where you can find code examples to run and apply. The term introduction is a misnomer, a relatively short work at only 174 pages, the author jumps right into the details, beginning with an overview, and then shifting to building your own use-cases in line with one of the numerous outlined standards like TOGAF or ITIL through Archimate, a visualization tool, and then, as if either of those weren’t enough for a book, hops right into deciding between options with ATAM – the Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method. The book concludes through demonstrating architectural principles with .Net, visiting some cloud implementation standards, and then helping the reader set up through own Kubernetes and microservices cluster to further practice architecture. Wow. So much packed into so few pages. One complaint, there are a lot of acronyms in this book. Picking a page at random (page 60), one sees SOA, BFF, gRPC, REST, HTTP/1, HTTP/2, DDD, B2C,B2B and B2E. While these aren’t bad, at times I wanted a running glossary to go back and check examples. The simplified explanations for architecture concepts like SOLID, and GoF (Gang of Four) are essential, easy to find, and even easier to understand. If you work in design, as a developer or architect, this should be in your list.

This book will benefit anyone who has worked as a S/W developer and aspires to become a software Architect.This is an awesome book to get architectural guidance at any career point. It has been written in a comprehensive and simplistic way and can greatly help in the understanding of the subject. This book explores the popular frameworks and design patterns. It's also worth mentioning that numerous code examples are provided and can also be downloaded.The explanations given are very easy to understand and helps one to grasp the complex technical concepts in lot simpler manner. I felt more like talking to person rather than reading a book and enjoyed.The book mainly covers the breadth of technical knowledge required for a S/W architect role.

I received a copy of this book from Packt publishing for review.As someone who worked in Sales her whole career, then successfully transitioned to a tech career after age 40, being 'technical' wasn't an attribute that I used to describe myself. Working in IT, I always felt out of my league when speaking to developers or those with programming background. I took it upon myself over the years to study OOP and basic architecture, but still felt in over my head.This book changed all of my previous connotations.With this short book, I all the information I picked up via self study, and in real life projects has finally clicked! The way Stephane Eyskens wrote this book is truly helpful for "non-technical" and technical people alike. The examples within are real life scenarios, and written in easy to understand language. I know have a much better idea of key design patterns and overall architecture frameworks. This is a welcomed addition to my library and one to which I can continually refer.
