About the Book
This book contains several real-world software architectures, documented with the practical arc42 template.
You will learn about the inner workings of a chess engine, a huge CRM system, a cool web system to track biking activities and a few others.
Each of the examples starts with a brief description of the problem domain, including the quality requirements, before we explain the system context with all the external interfaces. Then we dive into an overview of the solution strategy to prepare you for the implementation building blocks and runtime scenarios.
Later on we explain the crosscutting concepts of every architecture and its implementation.
You will learn that documentation can be compact, helpful and easy-to-read.
This version combines the information- and real-time/embedded systems into a comprehensive collection.
It has been compiled to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the arc42 template and ecosystem.
