Synopsis: With the publication of "Continuous Architecture in Practice: Software Architecture in the Age of Agility and DevOps", authors and computer experts Murat Erder, Pierre Pureur, and Eoin Woods have taken their extensive software architecture experience and applied it to the practical aspects of software architecture in real-world environments.
"Continuous Architecture in Practice" provides hands-on advice for leveraging the continuous architecture approach in real-world environments and illuminates architecture's changing role in the age of Agile, DevOps, and cloud platforms. This instructive guide will help technologists update their architecture practice for new software challenges.
As part of the Vaughn Vernon Signature Series, "Continuous Architecture in Practice: Software Architecture in the Age of Agility and DevOps" was hand-selected for the practical, delivery-oriented knowledge that architects and software engineers can quickly apply. It includes in-depth guidance for addressing today's key quality attributes and cross-cutting concerns such as security, performance, scalability, resilience, data, and emerging technologies. Each key technique is demonstrated through a start-to-finish case study reflecting the authors' deep experience with complex software environments.
The key topics covered include: Creating sustainable, coherent systems that meet functional requirements and the quality attributes stakeholders care about; Understanding team-based software architecture and architecture as a "flow of decisions"; Understanding crucial issues of data management, integration, and change, and the impact of varied data technologies on architecture; Architecting for security, including continuous threat modeling and mitigation; Architecting for scalability and resilience, including scaling microservices and serverless environments; Using architecture to improve performance in continuous delivery environments; Using architecture to apply emerging technologies successfully.
Critique: Comprehensive and exceptionally well written, organized and presented, "Continuous Architecture in Practice: Software Architecture in the Age of Agility and DevOps" is unreservedly recommended as a core addition to personal, professional, and academic library Software Design, Development & Engineering collections. It should be noted for personal reading and reference that "Continuous Architecture in Practice: Software Architecture in the Age of Agility and DevOps" is also readily available in a digital book format (Kindle, $25.99).
Editorial Note. "Continuous Architecture in Practice: Software Architecture in the Age of Agility and DevOps" can be register for convenient access to downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available. the details for registration are inside the book.

Synopsis: Whether Java is your first language or whether you've lost count, the newly updated and expanded sixth edition of "Murach's Java Programming" is a comprehensive and essential DIY instructional reference. For those new to programming, the self-paced approach taken in "Murach's Java Programming" allows the reader to absorb all that's required of a programmer as they learn Java itself, with plenty of practice exercises along the way.
For the more experienced programmer, this same approach allows skimming through the familiar to focus on what's new, helping to learn Java faster and better than ever before. At the end, both the aspiring and the experienced programmer will have all the Java skills needed on the job, including those for object-oriented, database, and GUI programming.
Critique: Complete, comprehensive, exceptionally 'user friendly' in organization and presentation, this new sixth edition of "Murach's Java Programming" is particularly and especially recommended for personal, professional, community, and academic library Java Programming Reference and Object-Oriented Software Design instructional reference collections.
Editorial Note: Joel Murach has been writing and editing books about computer programming for over 20 years now. During that time, he has written extensively on a wide range of Java, .NET, web, and database technologies.
