O’Reilly just released the book 97 Things Every Software Architect Should Know. Those 97 things are not only from one person, but aggregated from dozen known software architects like Neal Ford, Michael Nygard and more. You can have a look at the Axioms overe here, I picked out three favorite ones:
- For the end-user, the interface is the system (Vinayak Hedge)
- “Perfect” is the enemy of “Good enough” (Greg Nyberg)
- Business Drives (Dave Muirhead)
You can order the book at Amazon or checkout the book’s website here.
