Angophora Press is delighted to release the second version of the community website AudioCircle. A good deal of effort has gone in to making the transition between versions 1 and 2 smooth and trouble-free, and it has mostly paid off. Please visit AudioCircle to review an example of our "Level 2" community website software.
A Software Architecture Primer
John Reekie
Rohan McAdam

Just released, A Software Architecture Primer presents a fresh, pragmatic approach to the study of software architecture. Written by two experienced practitioners with extensive industry and academic experience, this book will be of value to anyone involved in software development. It presents a series of chapters that introduce and develop an understanding of software architecture, not in an academic or cursory way, but by means of careful explanation and elaboration of a range of key concepts. Chapters on architectural analysis and design, on fundamental views of any complex software system, on architectural styles and on quality attributes, combine to ensure that the reader or student will master the art of "architectural thinking."
