This book is PHENOMENAL. I program professionally, teach code architecture to teams, and read many books about software patterns and practices. This book is an instant classic, packed with pragmatic wisdom for software programmers, system architects, and development teams. Kudos for creating such an superb addition to the field, and moreover for making it widely available for the benefit of all of us.

Architectural Metapatterns helps unravel the complexities surrounding software architecture by describing some common (and not so common) patterns an architect can use to better understand and form architectural solutions. In this book you’ll find hundreds of structure-based patterns encompassing communication, data, modularity, coupling, structure, and lots more, making it a must-read for any software architect.

This magnificent book lets you reason clearly about modern architectural patterns. Modern applications have only a few different types of problem to solve, but each problem has many possible solutions. This book steps through the problems and, for each one, discusses the trade-offs and different approaches in the patterns that solve that problem. After you read it, you'll know how to think about your problems and how to find the right architecture to solve them. This is exactly the kind of book I would have been delighted to sign when I was an editor.
