Applied Software Architecture (Paperback)

"Designing a large software system is an extremely complicated undertaking that requires juggling differing perspectives and differing goals, and evaluating differing options. Applied Software Architecture is the best book yet that gives guidance as to how to sort out and organize the conflicting pressures and produce a successful design." -- Len Bass, author of Software Architecture in Practice.

Quality software architecture design has always been important, but in today's fast-paced, rapidly changing, and complex development environment, it is essential. A solid, well-thought-out design helps to manage complexity, to resolve trade-offs among conflicting requirements, and, in general, to bring quality software to market in a more timely fashion.

Applied Software Architecture provides practical guidelines and techniques for producing quality software designs. It gives an overview of software architecture basics and a detailed guide to architecture design tasks, focusing on four fundamental views of architecture--conceptual, module, execution, and code. Through four real-life case studies, this book reveals the insights and best practices of the most skilled software architects in designing software architecture. These case studies, written with the masters who created them, demonstrate how the book's concepts and techniques are embodied in state-of-the-art architecture design. You will learn how to:

* create designs flexible enough to incorporate tomorrow's technology; * use architecture as the basis for meeting performance, modifiability, reliability, and safety requirements; * determine priorities among conflicting requirements and arrive at a successful solution; and * use software architecture to help integrate system components.

Anyone involved in software architecture will find this book a valuable compendium of best practices and an insightful look at the critical role of architecture in software development.

「設計一個大型軟體系統是一個極其複雜的任務，需要平衡不同的觀點和目標，並評估不同的選項。《應用軟體架構》是迄今為止提供如何解決和組織衝突壓力並產生成功設計的最佳書籍。」——Len Bass，《軟體架構實踐》作者。

優質的軟體架構設計一直以來都很重要，但在今天快節奏、快速變化和複雜的開發環境中，它變得不可或缺。一個堅實、深思熟慮的設計有助於管理複雜性，解決相互衝突的需求之間的權衡，並且通常能更及時地將優質軟體推向市場。

《應用軟體架構》提供了產生優質軟體設計的實用指南和技巧。它概述了軟體架構基礎知識，並詳細介紹了架構設計任務，重點放在四個基本架構視圖上——概念、模塊、執行和程式碼。通過四個真實案例研究，本書揭示了最熟練的軟體架構師在設計軟體架構方面的見解和最佳實踐。這些案例研究由創造它們的專家撰寫，展示了本書的概念和技巧如何體現在最先進的架構設計中。您將學習如何：

- 創建足夠靈活以納入未來技術的設計；
- 使用架構作為滿足性能、可修改性、可靠性和安全性需求的基礎；
- 在相互衝突的需求之間確定優先順序並找到成功的解決方案；
- 使用軟體架構幫助整合系統組件。

任何參與軟體架構的人都會發現這本書是一本寶貴的最佳實踐彙編，並深入探討了架構在軟體開發中的關鍵角色。」
