     About the O’Reilly  Software Architecture Series

     Clearing a path from developer to architect and enriching that path once you arrive.

     Software architecture is a fast-moving, multidisciplinary subject where entire suites of “best practices” become obsolete practically overnight. No single path or curriculum exists, and different types of architecture-application, integration, enterprise-require different subject emphasis.
