Rezensionen

"In diesem einzigartigen technischen Band stellen viele der führenden Softwarearchitekten wertvolle Prinzipien für Schlüsselthemen der Entwicklung vor. So geht es beispielsweise darum, die Komplexität von Software zu reduzieren und Gespräche mit den Verantwortlichen zielorientiert zu führen. Die mehr als 50 Autorenn steuern aus ihrem weitreichenden Erfahrungsschatz in Einzelabhandlungen ihre Ansicht bei - damit ein erfolgreicher Softwarearchitekt technische und geschäftliche Aufgabenstellungen richtig angeht und erfolgreich meistert." -- dotnetpro, April 2009 " Die Themenpalette erstreckt sich über einen weiten Bereich. Beispielhaft seien das Zusammenspiel zwischen fachlichen und technischen Anforderungen, die Kommunikation mit Stakeholdern und der Umgang mit sich verändernden Anforderungen genannt." -- buschmais.de, Februar 2010
