Software Design: From Programming to Architecture

Software Design: From Programming to Architecture by Braude, Eric J.. paperback edition. ISBN: 0723812099771.

All Computer Scientists and Software Engineers need to understand software design, but until now there hasnt been one, complete, up-to-date guide to its theory and practice. Eric Braudes Software Design: From Programming to Architecture begins at the code level with programming issues such as robustness and flexibility in implementation. Increasing in abstraction and scope, the book then moves to mid-level issues, emphasizing a thorough understanding of standard design patterns and components. Finally, the book ends with high-level issues such as architectures, frameworks, and object-oriented analysis and design. In addition, the text contains a prologue on software process, making it versatile enough to use in a software engineering course.
