Great job, well done;
Definitely this video is very valuable and helpful for those who want to become master on Software Architecture.
THANKS.

So, as I understand it:
- Read the first 5 chapters of your book
- Read Essential Software Architecture
- Read Simon Brown's book "Software Architecture for Developers"
- Read all the other books when above is not enough

Dear George,
I started working in the field two years ago. I was solo at the time and overwhelmed by a big client, but there is where my love for software design was born.
Currently I am hitting the ceiling since I rely so much on my mental processes instead of writing it all down in models.
Your clear way of expressing things made me realize that I should probably read the books you recommended instead of reinventing the wheel.
Thank you,
Luka Šilje

[RaphaelVillela]

Could you add the list as a text here? If you could also link to Amazon it will be great

[Almatrodi]

Thanks. In your opinion, what is the best for a novice.

Hello and Good Day,

I am trying to get the difference between Architecture and Design pattern.
It's kind of confusing.
Do you have any suggestions?

It's been 4 years since the video came out. Do you still think that all information in the video relevant?

This was an intriguing watch, thank you very much. I ordered a couple of these books that were missing from my shelf while watching (I will have to put another one up now!) and interestingly your book on Just Enough Software Architecture is already on its way to me. I have many years of experience as a software developer and a handful as a software architect (ranging from technical to enterprise solutions) and I've read a LOT of books, so I am excited to read yours and I'll be sure to let you know what I think!

How about a short book that provides a quick introduction and lets the reader later research specific topics more in depth? Someone like me who's new to the field would probably get lost in a 700+ page book.

Nice compilation George!! I've them all :D
I'm very busy now studying all those books you named and others. I it was up to me, I'll add to the bullet list
-enterprise integration patterns, 574 pages (excellent in dept treatment of messaging in the context of integrating computer systems, important skill of any competent software architect in the enterprise field!)
-evaluating software Architectures
-pattern-oriented Software Architecture, - Volume 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Thanks George!
