I published a book to save you from my software architecture mistakes

Hacker News

Hey HN, I just wanted to share that after five months of intense work and countless caffeine-fueled writing sessions, "Master Software Architecture: A Pragmatic Guide" is now available. Writing this book was a crazy time. I entirely focused on it, and it took exactly 753 hours of writing, editing, and image editing & resizing(!) until the premiere. Yes, the last one (images) was a killer. If you ever think about writing a book, reserve a lot of time for it unless someone else does it for you. As a result, I am handing you the nearly 400-page book. It is a guide that will help you connect all the pieces while balancing the focus on understanding the domain and technology aspects, described using a pragmatic approach and super simple language. It is perfect for novice architects taking their first steps in software architecture. It is also an invaluable resource for software engineers looking to understand architectural concepts and those considering transitioning into an architect role. Several guest authors, including Vlad Khononov (Learning Domain-Driven Design book), Oskar Dudycz (Marten, Emmett, Pongo), and Milan Jovanović (.NET & C# educator), shared their views on keys to successful software architecture. Here you can find a free chapter (the first link on this page): https://www.fractionalarchitect.io/books/master-software-arc... To your success, Maciej "MJ" Jedrzejewski
