Book Review: Beautiful Architecture Leading Thinkers Reveal the Hidden Beauty in Software Design

Book Review: Beautiful Architecture Leading Thinkers Reveal the Hidden Beauty in Software Design by Diomidis Spinellis , and Georgios Gousios: Publisher- O'Reilly: ISBN- 13: 978-0-596-51798-4
Beautiful Architecture book is loosely coupled collection of articles from industry veterans. Book starts with very basics like what is architecture but then deep dive into more complex and intricacies of software architecture. This book is certainly not for green horns.

The book is to be read in non linear fashion. Read first chapter and then on the need and requirement basis, read the respective chapters. I am not going to that what each chapter does which you can get from Amazon or O’Reilly or other reviewers.

As one of the reviewer at Amazon said “too many cooks” and “half backed”.

Disclaimer: I did not get paid to review this book, and I do not stand to gain anything if you buy the book. I have no relationship with the publisher or the author.
