Finally someone has put the most important software architecture practices
into words. Within this book lies the concepts that are the heart of true
agility. Without a modularized architecture, any decent size project can not
achieve agility. I have seen so many agile projects flop because they ignored
architecture, in particular they ignored modularization.
This book also provides the keys concepts needed to ensure modifiability, the
number one quality attribute for any architecture. It drives home the
importance of physical design. An often overlooked aspect of designing
modularity, yet it is the most important. Good logical design does not really
matter if you have a poor physical design.
The book is broken down into 3 parts and includes an appendix that gives an
overview of the SOLID Principles.
Part 1 The Case for Modularity introduces modularity and how it relates... (more)

By now, you've probably heard about Eclipse as "the Open Source Java IDE"
(www.eclipse.org). Today, several companies have looked past the Java IDE
plug-ins provided as part of Eclipse, and are creating products that use
Eclipse as a tool integration platform, both inside and outside of the Java
arena. But what about using royalty-free, Open Source Eclipse technology as a
general-purpose application framework for your next desktop, fat client, or
embedded application? With the support provided by the Eclipse Rich Client
Platform (RCP) and the embedded version of the same (eRCP) t... (more)
2007 was undoubtedly the year of Social Networking, but what of 2008? Will
'08 be the year of "Unified Communications" or the year when CMS comes to
stand for "Community Management System" - or even "Collaboration Management
System"? Or will it be the year of a giga-merger, to beat the mere
mega-mergers of 2007?
As usual at the end of each year, SYS-CON has been informally polling its
globe-girdling network of software developers, industry executives,
commentators, investors, writers, and editors. As always, the range and depth
of their answers is fascinating, throwing light not... (more)
