Fundamentals of Software Architecture

The best book I have ever read on IT Architecture. This book focuses on the IT side of the Architecture discipline and does very little to cover the business side of the discipline, but even with that gap, its still -the- best book out there.

This is a great book about architecture and actually one of my few, that is actually up-to-date and covers topics of my current project like Architecture Decisions Records (ADR). I also likes the comparison with the ratings for different architectures, haven't seen something like this so far, although I know the are different trade-offs for each of them.



I always like books, when they also go into detail about the social and leadings aspects of the architect role, because this is usually something we technical folks have problems with.
