Available online via Safari, I only just started browsing (it was just released) so I can't say much except "yes, I am fairly sure I am going to read through this entire book." Part I is essays on general architecture principles in software, Part II on enterprise/integration systems, Part III on systems architectures (OS/virtualization), Part IV on end-user applications, Part V on programming languages. There are less essays than in Beautiful Code, but they are longer. An overriding thread is "seven principles upon which all beautiful architectures are based": - Versatility - Conceptual integrity - Independently changeable - Automatic propagation - Buildability - Growth accommodation - Entropy resistance "All royalties from this book will be donated to Doctors Without Borders."
