The Architecture of Open Source Applications

The Architecture of Open Source Applications

If you enjoy these books, you may also enjoy<br>Software Design by Example in Python<br>and<br>Software Design by Example in JavaScript.

Architects look at thousands of buildings during their<br>training, and study critiques of those buildings written<br>by masters. In contrast, most software developers only<br>ever get to know a handful of large programs<br>well—usually programs they wrote<br>themselves—and never study the great programs of<br>history. As a result, they repeat one another's mistakes<br>rather than building on one another's successes.

Our goal is to change that. In these two books, the authors of<br>four dozen open source applications explain how their software<br>is structured, and why. What are each program's major<br>components? How do they interact? And what did their builders<br>learn during their development? In answering these questions,<br>the contributors to these books provide unique insights into how<br>they think.

If you are a junior developer, and want to learn how your<br>more experienced colleagues think, these books are the place<br>to start. If you are an intermediate or senior developer,<br>and want to see how your peers have solved hard design<br>problems, these books can help you too.
