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!

The Book does not promise what it tells. Poorly written and outdated one. The Modern Software Development is complex in architecture. It does not talk about the latest tech stack.

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.

Disclosure: I received a sample book from the publisher for an honest review.The main goal of this book is to introduce you to the field of software architecture, which is a big topic embracing many technologies, patterns and best practices, all in one weekend. The book starts introducing the new jargon, the duties of a software architecture and the different disciplines. It is a big challenge to introduce such a broad topic in one weekend, but the author presents all the topics in a way that makes it a pleasant reading while learning new and important concepts to start your journey into the software architecture arena.I have seen many people asking questions as “What skills do a software architecture need?” or “What computer languages to I need to learn to become a software architecture?”. The author explains in a simple and distinct way that software architecture is about a conglomerate of skills (soft and hard) that are required to be able to do a job that not only solve the business problems today, but when they need to change, whatever you built can be expanded without pain.Many people reading this book, may not realize, but if you have worked developing applications for a medium size company or an enterprise, you may already have some of the knowledge that is required to become a software architecture and this book will get your feet wet pointing to the right direction to expand your knowledge to become a successful software architecture.As I mention before, software architecture is a big topic, and this book has less than 200 pages. I think that the book could be improved getting a little deeper into each subject and instead of “Talk and act like a software architecture in one weekend”, the title could be “Talk and act like a software architecture in one month”.

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.

This book is perfect for a software developer who wants to move to a software architect role. I loved that all of the architectural patterns are discussed with PROS and CONS.Also, the last few chapters are dedicated to how one can employ the architecture patterns for applications developing on the cloud. I thought this was cool.The first few chapters are a lot of theoretical aspects which was something I thought could have been further shortened. Otherwise, this book is worth a read.
