Fundamentos da Arquitetura de Software No mundo inteiro, pesquisas de salário colocam sistematicamente a arquitetura de software entre os dez melhores empregos, embora não exista nenhum guia real para ajudar os desenvolvedores a se tornarem arquitetos. Até agora. Este livro fornece a primeira visão geral completa de muitos aspectos da arquitetura de software. Aspirantes a arquitetos e os já praticantes examinarão da mesma forma as características e padrões da arquitetura, a determinação de componentes, as arquiteturas de diagramação, de apresentação, evolucionária e muitos outros tópicos. Mark Richards e Neal Ford, profissionais experientes que ensinam arquitetura de software profissionalmente há anos, focam os princípios da arquitetura que se aplicam a todas as camadas da tecnologia. Você explorará a arquitetura de software de um ponto de vista moderno, levando em conta todas as inovações da última década. Este livro examina: Padrão da arquitetura: a base técnica para muitas decisões de arquitetura. Componentes: identificação, acoplamento, coesão, particionamento e granularidade. Habilidades sociais: gestão eficiente da equipe, reuniões, negociação, apresentações etc. Modernidade: práticas de engenharia e abordagens operacionais que mudaram radicalmente nosúltimos anos. Arquitetura como disciplina de engenharia: resultados repetidos, métricas e avaliações concretas que acrescentam rigor à arquitetura de software. *** "Quer seja novo na função ou se já é arquiteto há anos, este livro o ajudará a ser melhor no seu trabalho. Só gostaria que ele tivesse sido escrito antes na minha carreira." —Nathaniel Schutta "Arquiteto como serviço", netschutta.io "Este livro servirá como um guia para muitos em sua jornada no domínio da arquitetura de software." —Rebecca J.

Arquitetura de Software: As Partes Difíceis Não há decisões fáceis na arquitetura de software. Pelo contrário, há muitas partes difíceis – problemas ou questões desafiadoras sem práticas recomendadas – que forçam você a escolher entre vários tipos de concessões. Com este livro, você aprenderá a pensar criticamente sobre as vantagens e desvantagens das arquiteturas distribuídas. Os veteranos em arquitetura e consultores profissionais Neal Ford, Mark Richards, Pramod Sadalage e Zhamak Dehghani discutem estratégias para a escolha de uma arquitetura adequada. Entrelaçando uma história sobre um grupo fictício de profissionais de tecnologia – o Sysops Squad – eles examinam tudo: desde como determinar a granularidade do serviço, gerenciar fluxos de trabalho e orquestração, gerenciar e dissociar contratos e gerenciar transações distribuídas; até como otimizar as características operacionais, como escalabilidade, elasticidade e desempenho. Com foco nas perguntas mais comuns, este livro oferece técnicas que o ajudam a descobrir e a avaliar os trade-offs ao enfrentar os problemas com os quais se depara como arquiteto. Analise os trade-offs e documente suas decisões de forma eficaz Tome decisões melhores com relação à granularidade do serviço Compreenda as complexidades da separação de aplicativos monolíticos Gerencie e dissocie contratos entre serviços Lide com dados em uma arquitetura altamente distribuída Aprenda padrões para gerenciar o fluxo de trabalho e as transações ao desmembrar aplicativos "Este livro é obrigatório para todo arquiteto que esteja criando sistemas distribuídos modernos." — Aleksandar Serafimoski Consultor Líder, Thoughtworks

Mark L. Richards''s Legions of the Forest painstakingly crafted the world of AD 9 under the Roman Empire. He invites you back to ancient Europe in his sequel, Return of the Eagles. In the Teutoburg Forest, three Roman legions are ambushed and killed under the orders of Arminius, the leader of a united confederation of German tribes. It is a political disaster for Rome and a personal one for Tribune Valerius Maximus and Centurion Marcellus Veronus, two of the few survivors of the attack. Both are given an opportunity to take their revenge on the barbarians. It''s an opportunity given by Germanicus Caesar, a rising star of the empire and nephew to Emperor Tiberius. As Germanicus begins raising an army, Valerius immerses himself in the German language and customs, and Marcellus trains soldiers in the ways of their enemies. While Valerius and Marcellus understand the ambush tactics of their adversaries, many of the army''s senior leadership underestimate the barbarian tribes. Valerius and Marcellus are not the same men they were in Legions of the Forest. Will their newfound experience, strength, and spirit be enough to lead Rome to victory? Or will they once again fall prey to the German barbarians?
