The agile and software craftsmanship movements are helping to push up the quality of the software systems that we build, which is excellent. Together they are helping us to write better software that better meets the needs of the business while carefully managing time and budgetary constraints. But there's still more we can do because even a small amount of software architecture can help prevent many of the problems that projects face. Successful software projects aren't just about good code and sometimes you need to step away from the IDE for a few moments to see the bigger picture.

This book is about that bigger picture and its role in delivering better software. It's a collection of essays that together form a practical and pragmatic guide to software architecture, with the overall goal being to demystify what it means to be a software architect and provide guidance on how to do software architecture effectively.

The book is aimed at software developers that want to learn more about software architecture as well as those that are new to the role. It fills the gap between software development and high-level architecture that probably seems a little "enterprisey" for most developers.
