2.0 out of 5 stars Software Architecture hits the basics, but is dated, 2 Oct 1998
By A Customer
I was disappointed in that Sofware Architecture focused more on a few specific approaches to systems design than on an adaptive approach for creating architectures.

Although published in 1996, I found much of the material to be based on the past (e.g., a pipe and filter model, shared repository, etc.) moreso than on newer/emerging technologies, such as the role of component-based architectures.

I think this is a good text for a traditional summary of the SW industry and some solid practices, but it did not offer the foresight needed by "seasoned" professionals to earn a permanent spot on the bookshelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars solidating your understanding of the software architecture, 16 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This is a book for these who begin to wonder what is the software architecture while they begin to design software, after going through the existing architecture styles, you will understand the bad thing and good thing about one particular style, and you will have the ability to frame your problem in term of these existing styles, if there is a solution existing, you will have a proved solution for your problem, provided you did a careful analysis on your problem. Again, software architecture is a engineering issue, you realy need practice to grasp it.
